You're just scared of him because he's fat. Admit it!
blah blah blah indeed!
Why even give them change?
What #1 said. Bear hater.
poor, fat, dirty santa! i wouldn't touch you even if you were a missing snowboarder.
Im about 10,000,000 times more likely to give some random homeless person change ifand I know this sounds awfulI dont have to touch em.
That doesn't just *sound* awful...
I agree with Dan. I don't care much for touching strangers, especially homeless strangers.
dan -- your priorities seem to be FUCKED!
god forbid you actually treat someone humanely.
there were folks similar to you in the 1980s who were afraid to touch hiv- positive folks. i'm glad they got over their fears.
you fucking suck as a human and next time i see you out in public, i'm gonna make sure to get filthy germs all over you!
I'd give this guy money. Cup-shakers, I dunno what they want it for. Then there's those "WHY LIE I NEED A BEER" guys. Then there's this guy, who's at least working. If you put some active effort into it I'll respect you. As Santa says, even if it's for a beer, at least you're not sitting on your arse.
Mike Huckabee thinks that it's okay to treat AIDS patients as less than human, and that's disgusting. But it's fine to treat homeless people that way.
If you're so disgusted at their hygiene, give them $5, a toothbrush and a bar of soap.
@10 - OK, I'll bite: where did Dan exactly say he regards homeless people as less than human? There are plenty of people whose humanity I can readily acknowledge, but who I an still not necessarily aching to touch.
Hmmm, Santa playing sax? What happened to the girl who played violin in front of Pacific Place? I always threw in a few bucks after having lunch. I always will give to musicians on the street.
I feel the same way. There is a guy in my neighborhood I sometimes give money to and the last time I gave him a buck, he grabbed my hand and seemed to wipe his finger on the top of it. I was very grossed out because I was on my way to meeting friends for dinner and had to get all the way to the restaurant before I could wash my hands. Maybe that makes me an asshole, but I have no idea when that guy washed his hands last.
I won't even touch my wife unless she's showered. Being touched no matter your hygiene is not a human right.
Well at least this time he's baiting a group with limited computer access so we won't have the interminable blog war.
Blog wars kick ass, chi type. You know it. I know it. And fuckin' Marsellus Wallace knew it.
I saw that guy yesterday too - he was great! Unfortunately I didn't have cash on me at the time. I'm glad he's on Slog because I wanted to take a picture of his sign.
I won't add to the melee about not touching the homeless - I'm not crazy about touching any stranger - but I do hope Dan generally washes his hands before eating his meals.
@13 -- unless you watch someone wash their hands, you have no idea when ANYONE last washed their hands!
If you live/work in the business world -- you shake folks' hands and they haven't washed them!
Want cleaner homeless?: www.urbanreststop.org
You are right Joey, but when I shake hands in the business world, usually the hands at least APPEAR clean.
You can bite my ass tsm. It's not a subtle point, the whole topic is dehumanizing. The homeless, or 'bums' as Seattlites seem to prefer, are still people. In his defense, Dan notes that it's not their fault, but the whole discussion is offensive. I feel sorry for people who live on the street. The Slog's problem with touching them, pales in comparison with their problem of trying to survive in the cold and rain and get enough to eat.
kinda prissy sometimes, dan? and you don't know that someone didn't, at some point in its circulation, wipe his nose or ass with that dollar you contemplated giving to him. and it doesn't make you sick, and neither will he. just wash up before eating and all will be fine, i promise.
That's cool Ari. There you go passive agressive Seattle. Instead turning up your noses like Dan, you can actually do something for a change.
Folks, let's just all take a giant step back here. I don't think Dan's dehumanizing homeless people. He just doesn't like touching dirty people. Period. It's his own psychology in play there, not some backwards attempt to dehumanize homeless people. And you know what? I don't like touching dirty people, or strangers, in general. It's my own personal psychology, too!
So what do we do about it? Should Dan and I break ourselves of our psychological issues with dirty people by going around and touching every dirty person we see? I think it's a much better use of our time and efforts to try to help the homeless. Dan gave saxaphone santa some change... since I'm 10,000,000 times more likely to give a homeless person money if I'm 90% sure it won't go directly to the booze and drugs that lead some of them to break into my boyfriend's car or scream "FILTHY FAGGOT" at me on the 358, I give the money instead to homeless shelters and projects like FareStart, which do a bit more than just give homeless people a prayer and a bar of soap.
Thanks for the plug. You wouldn't happen to be one the newcomers who helped cleaning up after the vomiting incident on saturday night? We're a little lax on introductions.
Comment bating to the max, Savage
@25, I put my name in to volunteer at Urban Reststop but no one got back to me (This was a couple of trys back in August) What gives??
We are far from claiming to be perfect. Keep trying. The best way (at least the way I started) is to come down and hang out.
#25: I haven't volunteered. Right now, I have to stick to plugging you guys around the block. Soon I'll get some money to give you, and maybe after that, some time.
Keep up the great work!
@ 16: You're right of course, Mr. Poe. Maybe I was just doing some wishful thinking since my place of employment is where the smelly homeless are most likely to come to participate in the flame war.
Freakazoids! Any time you touch that $$$, you are touching far more "dirt" than anything that could possibly come off of a homeless person.
You shouldn't be giving money to homeless people anyways. You should be donating that money to charities that are dedicating to helping the homeless, or giving it to politicians who actually do something to alleviate homelessness. I ain't paying for anyone's booze but my own.
Observing that obvious homeless people who shake cups at you are dirty and smelly and gross in no way "dehumanizes" them. It's just stating the truth. It's a fact. They usually ARE dirty, smelly, and gross. Dan specifically noted it wasn't their fault. He indicated that he even tossed money in those cups. How is that dehumanizing? Prissy maybe, and perhaps a bit of a neat freak. But dehumanizing? No.
I myself never give money to individual street people. Ever. I just hate the entire begging behavior, and by giving to them, you just encourage it. Instead, I give money to FareStart, Youthcare, Urban Rest Stop, or other organizations that actually provide useful practical assistance to homeless people. That way I know the money I'm giving is actually doing something useful.
Any time you give charity, it's slightly dehumanizing for the receiver, because the power dynamic implicit in the act is that the giver bestows his/her superior wealth on the receiver. But the fact is that the homeless need help. Still, I don't know if that means I need to be the recipient of his superior filth.
One of the secrets of good sex and lots of it - you cruise the street guys and the so called homeless.
Of course you take them to a bath house and do hot showers together before you rim them.
Good advice, hey, Dan ...
Mr Poe knows.
This certainly explains Dan's aversion to riding the bus.
Me, I'm looking forward to riding that filthy SLUT starting Wednesday!
I'm not sure the homeless *want* you touching them, Dan.
Gotz to be givin you props when you deserve it.
At least you are honest about having a certain amount of revulsion at the homeless.
That is what Gods plan for them is. Keeps the rest of us going to our "jobs".
But maybe you could give them a little advice about how to have sex in shit filled dumpsters and despite open festering pressure sores on their cocks. You know, the same stuff that would benefit your other readers.
ecce homo: A whole lot of people are repulsed by gays. Is that god's plan to keep people from becoming like you?
Christ, Dan - you're beginning to sound like Howard Hughes and his germophobia. Or like the woman quoted in last week's P-I about never having ridden a bus nor intended to, but looked forward to patronizing the SLUT because it "looked fun". Lady - it's a bus running in steel ruts. And they'll stay clean, drug-and- homeless-free because Paul Allen says so. Can you say "Cashcadia"?
Then perhaps you should have Strangercrombie benefit Urban Rest Stop!
You should really give to an organization rather than the homeless people on the streets. Somebody like Volunteers of America Western Washington really does a good job at helping the less fortunate people in the community.
Purelle and cocoabutter oyu fucking verminophobe!
I'll admit it. I sometimes worry about lice on the bus. I don't want some people rubbing against me for that reason. And tuberculosis...I worry about TB.
Wouldn't have to worry, of course, if these unfortunate souls had health care.
I gotta say I feel the same way as Dan. And I work with homeless people. There's nothing wrong with wanting to protect your health by avoiding folks who don't have the means to maintain hygiene. It's classist to lump all homeless together and call them "dirty" (many are quite clean), but for the same reason I don't share my food with my 4-year-old niece after she's been picking her nose and eating the fruits of her labor (ahem), I don't go rubbing hands with folks who don't have regular access to hot water and soap.
Laundromats should have showers in the lower 48, just as they do in Alaska. Write your congressperson.
A couple questions now that I'm bored enough to care:
- Where did he get the sax?
- Where did he get the candy canes?
- Where did he get the clean Santa suit?
- Why would you have to touch him? He has a folgers can for change right there.
- Why should we care?
Please answer these, Dan. Thanks.

Rugged forebears would not claim today's whining snow-babies
The people in our city and our nation have turned into a bunch of whiners.
We recently had a wonderful 9-inch snowfall, ending late on a Saturday night. Starting the following Monday and continuing into Tuesday, people were calling and complaining that the school parking lots had not been cleared off. Tuesday night, a lady came on television explaining that the maintenance crews had 26 schools to clear and that they were working as fast as possible.
The city did a very good job clearing main arteries of the city, especially considering that there had been ice and snow the two previous weekends.
If you don't like the way something is being done, do something constructive about it. Put down your cell phone, get out of your SUV and get a shovel. Get out your snow blower, or borrow or rent one, and clear off that school parking lot.
Form a neighborhood shoveling party and clear it off.
Yes, ladies can shovel snow! It is good aerobic exercise. You can skip your workout at the gym on that day.
Our ancestors who braved the ocean in a sailboat (the Mayflower) and crossed the prairie in covered wagons would be ashamed to call us their descendents!

How Amarillo sports teams can get back on track
I have a few suggestions regarding the Amarillo Gorillas/Dusters dilemma.
First, they could reduce their ticket prices. The average working man with a wife and two kids can't afford $50 to $75 a game.
Lower ticket prices would increase attendance, increase concession sales, increase souvenir sales and show advertisers and sponsors that their money is reaching a bigger audience.
Second, if the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation can send $5 million to Dalhart for a cheese factory. Surely it can kick in some dough - especially if the two teams bring in out-of-town fans with spending money.

For the sound of air rushing out from a body check, what about "unf"? It's how I tend to think of it. An UNF said more in the throat than the mouth.
| TinaLouise chapter 19 . 4/3/2015
This chapter always confuses me a bit. I've never really understood why Peregrine thinks that Emil and Kurt wouldn't want him to want them like this. I kinda understand why Peregrine thinks he shouldn't want them this badly at this point in the story but at one point he says something along the lines of them not wanting him the way he's thinking here.

So it's finally finished. Congratulations on finishing one of the most wonderful stories on the internet. I will miss updates from you dearly.
This story captured me from the first chapter and seeing it come to such an elegant conclusion is truly beautiful. Your characters caught my heart and you write as well as if you were merely typing words that were really spoken.
I hope you continue to write, I know that I will re-read this masterpiece many times in the future. But I do think you need a break, this was a long haul to finish.
| TinaLouise chapter 150 . 12/15/2013
I'm sad to see this story over, but like your other stories, this one will be revisited often.
| Goldenstars chapter 146 . 11/10/2013
This is the chapter I've been waiting for! While conflict and hardship is needed, the main characters 'winning' is much more satisfying. I think Kurt's mother is my least favourite character and I was dreading the expected meeting. This was so satisfying to read. No open arguments, but quiet disarmaments that could not be disagreed easily with. Lovely, lovely. I'm just hoping everything doesn't fall to pieces when Kurt gets home, and I'm not sure if I'd rather Pamela to be out of Kurt's life or for a slow reconciliation to begin. Also it's nice that she's not a straight 'evil/bad' character. Great chapter!
| Rina chapter 146 . 11/10/2013
Oh yes! I'm so glad you found your muse again to keep writing this wonderful story. It's the highlight of my reading week to see any kind of update from you, but this story is my absolute favorite right now. I have no clue how you keep tabs on all your characters, and plot points as well as you do, especially in a story of peoples lives rather than simply a 'one off' occasion story. I hope your inspiration continues!

| Facella chapter 137 . 9/9/2013
I love this story. I started reading a few days ago and just couldn't stop. When I saw the word count, I thought it had to get tedious after a while. I mean, this is just a romance story, what's there to write about? But I was so wrong! I really enjoy everything so far.
All those side characters are fascinating. That's one of the things that keeps this story interesting through all these chapters.
At the beginning, I didn't particularly like Peregrine. He seemed to take Emil for granted and rely on him for everything, while never really giving him something back. And then he cheated on him on top. And telling Kurt he can't fall in love with Emil made me really dislike him. He seemed so mean, wholly undeserving of lovely, caring Emil. But I started liking him more and more with each chapter and now I like him just as much as the other two. The three of them are all interesting in their own way. Though I might be a little partial to Emil, he's kinda my favourite in this story xD

Just like the title says there is no revisions section at all. I am using WP 3.5.1 and the newest version of this. I don't see any revision history at all. Right out of the box with new WP install... This have to do with WP version? Also does this have to do with workflow section not updating?
Also when doing a quick edit workflow state shows a blank box - not even a dropdown so something is way off here. These things work in previous versions of WP? Plug-in still functional. Was thinking about paying for some more features but can't even give a proper demo.

When the update hits xbox live, I plan on changing to Legendary difficulty and Lengendary all my skills at once.
I figure this will gimp my inventory/damage potential to about 1/3 what it is now and also double the strength/hp of all enemies.
Should be a decent challenge. already beat the main quests and all DLC, but still have several side-quests to mop up and many locations I never cleared.
I like the idea of being able to begin leveling up again.. a main driving force for role playing games for me is the character progression, which has been at a stand-still since I hit 81.5.. Good thing the story and world is so damn immersive.
Now that every (s)kill counts again, I can just run around in the woods murdering things til my hearts content. Wonder how long it will take to get to lvl 250?
I took a stroll, and spied a maid,
but Matron's duty stayed my blade.
So busy now, I miss the thrill,
if only I had time to kill.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he will veto bills
that don't freeze non-national security spending.
Obama on Wednesday told a joint session of Congress that he wants a three-year stop for additional spending. Obama says Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security would be exempt under the plan, which would begin next year.
Obama says his administration already has found $20 billion in savings next year. Even so, Obama says it's not enough.
He wants a commission to identify how to control skyrocketing spending. Obama says unless spending is controlled, financial markets and the nation's recovery will be threatened.
The Senate recently blocked that proposal.

Hi There,
I'm using CFtoDB Extension and bought the Edit plugin. When someone uses quotation marks (" or ') then these will be put in the DB correctly.
But if I edit a cell, the plugin puts backslashes before each quotation mark. Since I want to add some html code in the cells, this is somewhat annoying since the html won't work with all the backslashes in it.
Next to that, If I want to edit text in wich people used quotation marks then the text will show up with all the backslashes in it.
Is there a fix for this?

Fox International Productions has struck a film co-production agreement with China's Huace Media Group.
Fip is the local-language production arm of 20th Century Fox, and the deal will result in Chinese-language films that are primarily targeted at Chinese audiences.
Huace, which was begun ten years ago as a TV producer, has recently become a major force in film production and is busily assembling an array of international alliances.
The pair say that they are "working closely to identify projects on which to collaborate, including Fox titles from the past catalogue and some new scripts" and will soon announce the first joint productions.
The deal was signed this week at Fox's studios in Los Angeles.
"What's important to us is that [Huace] are well-established as creators and great storytellers. To us, finding a partner who knows good storytelling is everything," said Tomas Jegeus, president of Fox International Productions. "The »

Possibly the first mainland Chinese remake of a Hollywood nuptial-themed romantic comedy, "Bride Wars" offers a veritable handbook on wedding arrangements that may spark a new genre of Chinese matrimony porn, but what little heart or frothy fun there was in the Gary Winick-directed original are crushed by all that bling and put-on pageantry. Despite the ready-made template, scenes are scattered like confetti, and judging from the cosmic spaciness projected by dolled-up stars Ni Ni and Angelababy, Hong Kong-American helmer-scribe Tony Chan hasn't a clue how female friends relate to each other. Although the film opened in first place domestically with nearly $14.3 million, ticket sales fell 74% the next day.

State bill would legalize selling home-cooked food
The California Homemade Food Act, AB1616, may be a game-changer for entrepreneurs who want to cook in their kitchen and sell on the street.
Vendors who make breads, nut mixes, fruit butters, preserves and other foods that don't spoil at room temperature would be able to legally cook from home if the bill passes.
The state assembly's Health Committee amended the bill on April 10, and it will go back to the committee for a re-vote on April 17, said Pamela Davis, communications director for Assemblyman Mike Gatto, the author of the bill. So far there's not a lot of opposition to the legislation, according to the sponsors, and it could be on the governor's desk by August.

Arts Who Will Be the Next Director of Seattle Arts & Lectures?
posted by June 7 at 17:19 PMon
Just got off the phone with Kim Brown Seely, who's in charge of the search committee for a new director for Seattle Arts & Lectures. (Seely is vice president of the board.) SAL's current director, Margit Rankin, announced earlier this week that she is stepping down.
THE STRANGER: I was just looking at SAL's website, and it says "There are currently no open positions with Seattle Arts & Lectures." That's not exactly true.
KIM BROWN SEELY: Well, we have a search committee that is being put together as we speak. We're launching a national search. The website I suppose is a day or two out of date.
It must be a hard job to do a search for the position, since the right person has to be an excellent administrator with the educational background to oversee SAL's three educational programs and dream up the lecture series and be its emcee. Have you guys considered dividing the executive director role into two roles, like an artistic director and a managing director?
It's actually too soon for me to speak to that. We're looking at a number of possibilities, and the organization has grown to the extent that we may be looking at a different model.
Is the organization secure enough—you're going into your 20th year—that you guys are willing to take a few more risks?
What about finding a local literary superstar to dream up and emcee the lecture series on a not-full-time basis? Is that a possibility?
It's way too soon for me to speak to that.
I've always thought it would be great to hire someone like Sherman Alexie to do that. He's great on stage.
It's interesting that you should bring that up. We've been looking at all sorts of different models—maybe even having different people host each lecture. Sherman would be phenomenal.
Does the new director of SAL need to wear glasses? Will that help them in the interview process?
That's a very difficult question. As someone who's legally blind, I can't wear glasses. They would be too thick to wear. Now that's literary! They would be thicker than coke bottles. [Laughs.] They don't need to look the part, obviously. We're looking for someone who's interested in ideas.
Will you consider internal candidates—current SAL staffers?
It's too soon to speak to that.
Rebecca Hoogs really smart.
I know.
I know you haven't even put the whole committee together yet, but if people want to apply, what should they do?
They should contact the office directly.
[Rankin is leaving at the end of July. The official press release about her departure is after the jump.]
Seattle Arts & Lectures
June 4, 2007
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We write to you on the eve of our 20th anniversary season of another passage: Seattle Arts & Lectures will say farewell to Executive Director Margit Rankin at the end of July.
Margit has been instrumental in developing the organization that you know and enjoy today and she will be missed. Under her leadership, the Lecture and Poetry Series have thrived, the Writers in the Schools program has expanded, and several other programs have also grown. With some of the largest literary audiences in the nation, the Lecture and Poetry Series have presented an impressive and varied roster of distinguished authors such as Oliver Sacks, Edward P. Jones, and Adrienne Rich; audiences for the Poetry Series have increased forty percent. Margit has also introduced successful new events focusing on the environment and children's authors. The Writers in the Schools program has expanded from thirteen to twenty-one schools in the region. During her tenure, support from individuals, corporations and foundations has grown tremendously.
While we are saddened by Margit's departure, we are grateful for her legacy-a strong, financially sound organization poised for the next twenty years. Margit remains passionately committed to Seattle Arts & Lectures' mission, and looks forward to supporting the organization through its transition. A national search is underway for her replacement. Candidate suggestions or questions can be directed to board member Kim Brown Seely.
For nearly two decades Seattle Arts & Lectures has been devoted to exploring ideas and the imagination through language. In partnership with sponsors, underwriters, donors, and subscribers, we have developed Seattle's now famous culture of reading by involving audiences along the entire continuum of their lives. Seattle Arts & Lectures has nurtured emerging writers and brought world-class speakers to Seattle. Writers in the Schools, our Golden Apple award-wining program for K-12 students, and Teachers as Scholars, serve both young minds and those who shape them, while Wednesday University engages life-long learners, all building future audiences to secure our cultural legacy.
Your support and participation in Seattle Arts & Lectures' programs is deeply valued. The celebration of a 20th anniversary is a testament to your dedication. We look forward to launching the 2007-08 season with Nobel Prize winners Wangari Maathai and Orhan Pamuk, and hope to see you there.
Susan Potts, Board Chair
Margit, Rankin, Executive Director

I have two images. One is the original, and the another is rotated.
Now, I need to discover the angle that the image was rotated. Until now, I thought about discovering the centroids of each color (as every image I will use has squares with colors in it) and use it to discover how much the image was rotated, but I failed.
I'm using this to discover the centroids and the color in the higher square in the image:
i = rgb2gray(img);
bw = im2bw(i,0.01);
s = regionprops(bw,'Centroid');
centroids = cat(1, s.Centroid);
colors = impixel(img,centroids(1),centroids(2));
top = max(centroids);
topcolor = impixel(img,top(1),top(2));

Stereo ACC Real-Time Audio Communication
Audio Communication Coder (ACC) is a codec that has been optimized for monophonic encoding of mixed speech/audio material while minimizing codec delay and improving intrinsic error robustness. In this paper we describe two major recent algorithmic improvements to ACC: on-the-fly bit rate switching and coding of stereo. A combination of source, parametric and perceptual coding techniques allows a very graceful switching between different bit rates with minimal impact on the subjective quality. A real-time GUI demonstration platform is available that illustrates the ACC operation from 16 kbit/s mono till 256 kbit/s stereo. A real-time two-way stereo communication platform over Bluetooth has also been implemented that illustrates the ACC operational flexibility and robustness in error-prone environments.

Uranus and Miranda by MacRebiszWatch

It's been a while since my last upload here.
So, it's rather a quick piece made last month, portraying Uranus and it's moon Miranda. Inspired by Experience the Planets project

Digital painting.
The Franken-moon! Great work. Would be cool to see your rendition of Triton, which looks like a cantaloupe.
The Uranus texture/lighting is a real beauty.
really nice!
Ta planet to ewenement w układzie słonecznym. Nie dosyć, że kręci się w przeciwną stronę niż Ziemia, to jeszcze oś obrotu jest niemal na linii w kierunku Słońca. To powoduje, że na jednej części planety jest upał, a na drugiej wiecznie zimno. Obydwa określenie sa oczywiście nader delikatne, do realnych warunków... Pracka fajna, jak zwykle
Oh my gah! I think it's about time Uranus got some love...and that can be taken more ways than one. XD
Pretty kewl dude
minimalistycznie, ale jak zwykle swietnie
i saw the thumb and was like BLEH and then clicked and was happy. nice work, +collect
Incredible as always, you did a great job on the background!
This is like - the 200th time I've seen Uranus in the past 24 hours ...as I was trying to find information and images to see if aurora's existed in it's atmosphere so I could include them as I was intending to strange coincidence that only like - the second image of Uranus ever to appear in my inbox just had to show up the next day excellent job, especially considering how plain the planet looks - though I heard when it undergoes its seasonal change that the atmosphere becomes turbulent and can bring forth Neptune-like features
Yep, that was the first one I clicked on actually Being a rather bland skyline in comparison to the other giants, I needed something to beautify it, so Aurora's were on mind, and I was searching just to make sure they really did appear there (I was confident they occured on Jupiter and Saturn, but with Uranus's weird rotation and magnetic feild, I needed concrete proof )
nice scene here
I always like your stuff man.
miranda that ghost just isn't holy anymore ;]
It looks cool would you have a version with a fully lit Uranus?
Very cool!
Stunning, I particularly love the wide variety of colours you've used in the space behind, they're lovely

Jose Antonio Parra, Arcadia Father, Murdered by Home Intruder as Wife, 3 Kids Listen From Bedroom
Updated with a composite sketch of the suspect (right). The L.A. Sheriff's Department describes him as "male Hispanic, light complexion, 5'7", 150 lbs., thin build, black hair, brown eyes, wearing dark clothing, a black hoodie sweatshirt and a bandaid under his eye."
A family of five from Arcadia lived everyone's worst nightmare last night: They returned home from church to the 11000 block of Kristi Court around 8 p.m. to find an intruder inside their garage, waiting for them. Although sheriff's investigators say the father immediately handed over his mortgage payment at gunpoint -- $1,800 in cash -- that wasn't enough. The intruder allegedly instructed the mother and three kids (aged 3, 5 and 6) to wait in a downstairs bedroom, where they heard some conversation -- then gunshots.
Their husband and father was dead. L.A. County Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey tells the LA Weekly this evening that the victim has been identified as Jose Antonio Parra, a 35-year-old resident of Arcadia. ABC7 has the tragic accounts of Parra's family members and neighbors:
When [his wife and kids] came out, they found the father unresponsive on the ground, suffering from bullet wounds. The suspect, described as a Hispanic man in his 30s, was gone. The suspect fled from the scene around 8:15 p.m.
... "Complete, utter shock," said neighbor Dennis Ho. "This is a quiet neighborhood for something like this to happen. I'm totally, totally shocked. I'm at a loss for words."
Detectives said they believe the family was targeted but they don't know why.
Updates to come as the L.A. County Sheriff's Department tracks down Parra's killer. And you can help homicide detectives on that front, by calling (323) 890-5500 with any information related to the crime.

Silicon Beach: Boat Show Sails Into Social Media
The Super Bowl has come and gone, but one local tradition is still going strong. The 69th annual Miami International Boat Show and Strictly Sail Miami will have boating, fishing, and water sports enthusiasts in a frenzy this weekend.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), which organizes the show, expects about 100,000 people to show up at the Miami Beach Convention Center and Sea Isle Marina from February 11 through 15.
Yesterday, Silicon Beach spoke with a few boat show movers and shakers over the phone on the subject of social media.
This is the first year the NMMA has explored social media full-throttle. "We started a Facebook fan page last year," says public relations manager Sarah Ryser. "But we're really drumming it up this year. The fan page is for our Miami-based boating and fishing enthusiasts. We'll be posting articles and key information that will be more relevant to our Facebook fans."

LUXURY SEATING: Miami Dolphins v Tennessee Titans

Boat show management has also ventured into Twitter (@miamiboatshow). "We're working with exhibitors to pulse
information," Ryser explains. "But we'll also be putting out
information on press conferences, events, product features, and tweeting
photos. Our Twitter account is for everyone interested in the boat
show -- not only consumers but also media and industry professionals."
A number of boat manufacturers and sellers have been popping up on the boat show's Twitter account, including Sea Ray (@searayboat), the world's largest manufacturer of quality pleasure boats, according to its website.
This year, Sea Ray is giving financial wizard Suze Ormon
the keys to a craft in the effort to promote its Women on Water
initiative, which hopes to make boating more accessible to women. The
company has been using social media to promote the Ormon event, but it won't stop there. "We'll be using Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to
report back to friends, fans, and followers," says Ken Rohman, director
of interactive marketing.
Nielson Paty (@jettypro),
who owns a video production company and is not affiliated with the boat
show, is holding the first boat show tweetup this Friday, February
12, at Shucker's in North Bay Village. (Invite here.)
an avid fisherman and boater, has been eager to put together a marine
industry tweetup. It might be a rogue event, but Paty wisely
chose boat show weekend for his first one and hopes it will become
a regular gathering over the coming months.
"This isn't
sponsored by the boat show," Paty explains. "But I'm looking for
marine enthusiasts, fisherman, boaters, divers -- basically anyone
interested in the industry. I'd also love to see people there who
don't know a lot about the ocean but are curious. I want the marine
aspect to be the center point."
Paty claims he has seen the
fishing community embrace social networking platforms. "Captains are
tweeting daily. I get information on a daily basis from all over the
world," he says.
The marine industry, which relies heavily
on technology, is also using Twitter. Any serious boater is already a
gadget geek by default. "I've seen companies coming on to Twitter and
asking customers to respond about products," Paty says. "Captains have
been using GPS for a long time, and they're very likely to respond to
location-based apps like Foursquare."
The official hashtag for the Miami International Boat Show is #mibs. Follow the event on Twitter @miamiboatshow and on Facebook.

With the success of his debut single, ôHome,ö Phillip Phillips isnĺt just the dude who won ôAmerican Idol.ö Heĺs the dude with that folk-rock hit, according to the fans heĺs met.
ôPeople are like, ĹYouĺre the guy with the song ôHome,ĺö and Iĺm like, ĹYeah, yeah.ĺ They say ... ĹSo do you have any other music out?ĺ Iĺm like, ĹThere are some covers.ĺĹWhat from?ĺ I say, ôĺAmerican Idol.ĺöĹYou were on ôAmerican Idolö?ĺö he recalled.
ôThere was a lot of people who didnĺt even know I was on ĹIdol,ĺö he continued. ôI think thatĺs cool.ö
The star power for winners on ôIdolö Ś or other singing competitions on TV Ś doesnĺt usually continue after the seasonĺs run, but Phillips is hoping he wonĺt be one of those stereotypes, thanks to the success of his multiplatinum Top 10 hit and debut album, ôThe World From the Side of the Moon,ö which debuted at No. 4 on Billboardĺs 200 albums chart this week after selling 169,011 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The song Ś the only one he didnĺt write or co-write on the album Ś also got a boost when it was used in commercials for the Fierce Five, the five American female gymnasts who scored gold during the Olympics.
The 22-year-old talked about his music, being laid-back and the insta-family and friends who have surfaced since he won the ôIdolö crown.
Q: What do you think of the comparisons of ôHomeö to Mumford & Sonsĺ music?
Phillips: People are always gonna compare somebody to somebody else, but I think when people hear the album itĺs not gonna remind them of Mumford & Sons too much because Iĺm a little more rock and you know theyĺre very folk and theyĺre amazing. ... I think once they hear this album itĺs gonna turn their heads a little bit.
Q: Most ôIdolö winners havenĺt had success like Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood. Does that make you nervous?
Phillips: I mean if it doesnĺt do well it wasnĺt meant to do well ... Iĺd be upset for a little bit, but itĺs just what itĺs meant to be. I can only hope for the best. I canĺt make anybody do anything. Iĺm nervous about it definitely, but all I can do is hope that it does well.
Q: What do you think of the new ôIdolö judges?
Phillips: Iĺm curious to see how theyĺre gonna judge and to see what theyĺre looking for. Keith Urban is an amazing musician so thatĺll be cool to have him.
Q: Howĺs your health? (Phillips had major kidney surgery when he won ôIdolö this year.)
Phillips: Iĺm doing great. Iĺm tired, but staying busy. This reminds me, I have to get a doctorĺs checkup.
Q: You were so low-key about your health issues while on the show. Was that intentional?
Phillips: I didnĺt want people to feel sorry for me or anything on the show or vote for me for sympathy or anything like that, so I tried to keep it on the DL as much as I could, but the show likes that kind of stuff and they said, ĹWeĺre gonna put it (out),ĺ and I canĺt really say no because I signed some papers that they could show just about what they wanted to. So, yeah, I tried to keep it as low-key as possible.
Q: Do you find a lot of people came out of the woodwork after seeing you on ôIdolö?
Phillips: People that were saying they were cousins and good friends with my friendĺs friend whose friend of another friend and my grandmaĺs sisterĺs other half-sisterĺs babyĺs child. Iĺm like, ĹNice to meet you finally.ĺ

Investing in the Unknown and Unknowable
From David Ricardo making a fortune buying British government bonds on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo to Warren Buffett selling insurance to the California earthquake authority, the wisest investors have earned extraordinary returns by investing in the unknown and the unknowable (UU). But they have done so on a reasoned, sensible basis. This essay explains some of the central principles that such investors employ. It starts by discussing "ignorance," a widespread situation in the real world of investing, where even the possible states of the world are not known. Traditional finance theory does not apply in UU situations. Strategic thinking, deducing what other investors might know or not, and assessing whether they might be deterred from investing, for example due to fiduciary requirements, frequently point the way to profitability. Most big investment payouts come when money is combined with complementary skills, such as knowing how to develop real estate or new technologies. Those who lack these skills can look for "sidecar" investments that allow them to put their money alongside that of people they know to be both capable and honest. The reader is asked to consider a number of such investments. Central concepts in decision analysis, game theory, and behavioral decision are deployed alongside real investment decisions to unearth successful investment strategies. These strategies are distilled into eight investment maxims. Learning to invest more wisely in a UU world may be the most promising way to significantly bolster your prosperity.

Philadelphia has cut a lot of hotels tax breaks since the Convention Center went up 20 years ago.
Now some of the hotel owners are yelling, That's enough!
Seven high-end hotel operators signed a letter last week to protest planned tax breaks for the 700-room W and Element hotels project proposed for 1441 Chestnut St.
Mayor Nutter and the city tourism establishment want to let Starwood Hotels and developer Brook Lenfest divert millions in taxes the project would otherwise owe to repay their financiers, among other breaks.
"After adjusting for reductions at other hotel properties, the proposed project will not generate nearly the amount of tax increment or jobs that the developers claim, and the city may very well end up giving away more money in subsidies than it receives in additional taxes," the rival hoteliers warned.

Back-to-School Party
Maybe your child has an end-of-summer birthday. Or, why not treat back-to-school time itself like a holiday? Either way, these ideas will ring your child's bell.
In addition to inviting friends and neighbors, consider also inviting a few of the kids who will be in your child's classroom this year, to help them get acquainted. You might even ask the guests to wear their new school clothes and to bring something from the previous school year to share.
These ideas will help you set an appropriately themed, yet not-too-serious, table for the party feast:
Storybook Place Mats
What You Need:Set a fun and personalized party table.
- 18x12-inch sheet of storybook-ruled newsprint
- 18x12-inch sheet of construction paper
- 42-inch-long shoelace
- Paper punch
1. Fold construction paper in half. Round corners.
2. Trim newsprint to measure 10-1/2x16-1/2 inches. Fold in half.
3. Slip folded newsprint, centered, between folded construction paper.
4. Punch five holes, equally spaced, 1/2 inch from the folded edge.
5. Open up pages. Lace together as you would lace a shoe.
6. Allow children to write and illustrate their own stories.
Apple Place Cards
1. Download the free patterns for this project. (Downloading requires Adobe Acrobat software.) Trace patterns onto a piece of tracing paper.
2. Place each pattern along the fold of a folded piece of construction paper and trace.
3. Cut out and unfold to form full shape. Cut slit between leaves.
4. Print child's name on leaf.
5. Lay apples flat and stack three together. Machine-sew up the center.
6. Open apple sections so it stands.
7. Slip leaves on top.
Slate Centerpiece
1. Print alphabet around edge of chalkboard using a pencil.
2. Draw over letters with paint pens.
3. Write a note on the chalkboard, if desired.
Napkin Pocket Favor
What You Need:Fill a napkin with school supplies.
- Large paper dinner napkins
- Large, colored paper clips
- Box of crayons and other favors such as pencils, scissors, small rulers, chalk, erasers, and stickers
1. Place napkin on the diagonal. Lay crayon box in the center.
2. Fold bottom napkin corner up.
3. Fold side corners to the center.
4. Fasten together with a paper clip.
5. Slip additional favors inside the pocket.
Colorful Paper Cups
What You Need:What to serve? Something bright, of course!
- Paper cups (one per guest)
- 3 crayons per cup
- Hot glue or nontoxic crafts glue
- Permanent marker (optional)
1. Glue three crayons, side by side, to front of a cup.
2. If desired, write each guest's name on the other side of the cup.
Back-to-School Bags
What You Need:Fill a goodie bag with munchies and supplies.
- Small yellow bags
- Ruler
- Black permanent marker
- Number stickers or paint pen
- Pencil
- Paper punch
- Construction paper
- Treats such as jelly beans, wrapped candies, gum, peanuts, and raisins
- Small school supplies such as erasers, pencil sharpeners, or pens
1. Using marker and ruler, draw a 1-1/4-inch-wide ruler across the bottom of the bag.
2. Use number stickers or paint pen to mark the inches.
3. Print BACK TO SCHOOL across the top of ruler.
4. Cut banner from construction paper. Punch holes, then add school name.
5. Fill bag with treats. Fold top of bag over twice.
6. Punch two large holes in bag and slip pencil through the holes.
7. Slide banner onto pencil.
Keep things light for this party theme; it might sound fun to you to have kids work on math problems or answer questions, but it may not be fun for them!
Some ideas:
- Work on arts and crafts projects. Painting, coloring, and sculpting with clay are reminders of the fun classes school days bring.
- Play classic recess games like tag and jump rope.
- Offer flash cards, specialty notebooks, and other items as prizes.

Hey, I'm Peter!
Chicago, Illinois, United States · Member since January 2012
I teach in the Dance Department of Columbia College Chicago. I spend most of my time choreographing dances, reading, cooking and spending time with friends. Most times I'm traveling for a combination of business and pleasure. When I'm traveling, I'm rarely in the hotel, so a home sharing solution is ideal. I also would rather have my money go to a person that I meet as opposed to a corporate entity.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4dr Extended Cab Rwd SB (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
This has been a great truck. Great gas mileage(20 MPG around town) and performance. The stepside looks great and the stock rims look nice! The front fold down bench seat is really useful! I have the 4.8 L and it has power to spare. It tows my car trailer with ease. I looked at all the brands over a couple of months and am glad that I picked a chevy.
Ability to spin the tires at will. ; )
Add ram air as an option.
So far the truck has been very enjoyable and has done what was asked of it, hauling, towing, trips, carrying passengers. I do hope that a true hybrid is in the works as I'll keep this one until a higher mileage big truck is available.
Front seats. Adjustable and comfortable.
I like the styling of the 2001 better-- cleaner front grill without the frown. The 6 1/2' bed is too short yet the 8' w/extra cab too long--try 7. Need true hybrid. Being in the trade need incorporated shell/side doors and lockable weather proof back (like the old Helm's Bakery Trucks with 01 look.
I Own two Chevrolet trucks that are used in my contracting business. The quality and dependebility Of Chevrolet trucks is better than the Toyotas and Fords that I have owned. Chevrolet's Advertisement " like a rock" is very true. I used a 1992 Silverado in my business for eleven years without requiring anything but routine maintenence.
Powerful engine and comfortable interior.
You can't improve a perfect truck.

Fabulous, compassionate doctor who really cares about his patients and their families. Very thorough and knowledgeable with a wonderful bedside manner who relates very well with both kids and adults!
I almost don't want to tell the public how good this doctor and his practice are so I don't have to compete for his time... the BEST pediatrician I have ever used, and we have 7 kids and travel a lot, so we have had out fair share of experience with pediatricians over the years. We have been patients at Dr. Michel's practice for 6 years, and with him at a previous practice prior to that. He is so good, that I drive 35 minutes, past several local practices, in order to go to him and his partners!
Our family LOVES Dr. Eddie. Family of four kids - everyone is actually EXCITED for their annual appointment to see Dr. Eddie :-) Had him for 9 years - couldn't be a better professional!!!
Haymarket Pediatrics is wonderful! I'm so happy to have found them for my infant.
Dr. Eddie is an incredible physician and person. He is truly top-notch ... very observant ... looks at the big picture ... so very accurate. Dr. Eddie is also great with children and parents. He is compassionate and shows an ease working with little ones. A great find!
Dr. Michel is the perfect combination of caring and competence. Our kids love him and we have complete confidence in his recommendations and decision making.
Dr. Michel is the best! He really cares about each patient. The best choice I have made for my kids.
Dr. Michel is the best!

Happy with service great products and prompt delivery x
Perfect for a weekend away
Great little compact got the money. Bought when on offer at £15! Brilliant!
Bareminerals keeps my skin looking radiant all day and doesn't clog my pores.
Lovely item just colour too dark
I had read lots of positive things about bareminerals, so was really looking forward to using this palette but was hugely disappointed, the eyeshadow is bland and crumbly and has no staying power even with the primer, the primer is thick and gooey and doesn't apply to easily to the eye lid, the blush is wish-washy colour and not very pigmented, the moxi gloss is ok as is the eye pencil. I brought this for £15 when it had 50% off and still feel this was a waste of money
Great products. Offer prices are fantastic.
Got as a gift so havent tried, however Bare Minerals is of good quality. Shame it doesnt contain a mascara, if it did would be a full mini set
Great product, exactly as described.
Nice handy palette and bag to make-up on the go. I don't wear make-up that often and usually just put on a little in the tube. This palette is perfect for that.
Excellent value
Love my Bare Minerals Palette purchase. 100% satisfied with product quality and stylish luxurious look of the gold palette cases.
Fantastic value for money, as I bought when it was in the sale! I bought two, one as a gift and one for myself. Really lovely, good quality set to give as a gift.
This is my second purchase of the Shine On Palette which I think is real value for money and very flattering colours though this time Customs must have fancied a look as well as the polythene packaging on the inside had been burst open as well as the outer package which is unusual but everything was ok inside the palette.
Love this as everything is in one place!
Lovely palette,competitively priced;nice for a gift
Lovely item, bargain price
great value in sale lovely set
Fast service
A little slow to deliver order. It took slightly over a week from ordering to receipt of goods. However, items received fully met my expectation.
I only use bare minerals very good value
Beautiful product. Good value A***
Very happy with the product
not very pigmented

Way Too Easy Garlic Zucchini
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 7 mins
We love garlic and butter so this is just a vehicle for eating lots of both but kidding ourselves that it's healthy because of the green. Sometimes we grate parmesan cheese over this too.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 -5 medium young crisp zucchini, halved and julienned
- 3 garlic cloves, minced finely
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 teaspoons butter
- 5 -6 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Over med/high, heat pan.
- add oil (this stops the butter burning).
- add butter.
- add garlic and keep stirring until cooked but not brown.
- add zucchini, stir and toss, coating all the zucchini, until done; we like it with lots of crunch.
- Season to taste and add parmesan, if using.
Most Helpful
A very easy and delicious way to serve this prolific vegetable, we do love garlic and butter on just about anything! I made this as a small side dish since I didnt have much zucchini, it happily adapts itself to the quantities available. This would also be really nice tossed with pasta. Thank you omeomy, really enjoyed this! Made for Alphabet tag game.
This was a great way to use up zuchinni that I had bought too much of. I added some chili powder and some sliced onion. Delicious!
What a great side dish!!! I fixed half a recipe for DH and myself and what a mistake. I went to get some more and DH helped himself first taking it all! We loved the little crunch to the zuchinni and the parmesan cheese really makes the dish. Definately will make this again. Thank you. Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup game 2009-2010.

Conflict In Libya
'Shoot Them': Journalists Captured In Libya 'Thought It Was Over'
The four New York Times staffers who spent six days in the hands of fighters loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi tell their story today.
Among the frightening tales in the Times' account:
— They were captured when their driver (who is still missing) inadvertently drove into a checkpoint. As they were pulled from the vehicle, opposition fighters started shooting at the Gadhafi soldiers. "You could see the bullets hitting the dirt," Times Beirut bureau chief Anthony Shadid says.
— The journalists and soldiers ran into a building. That's when, Shadid says, he heard the soldiers say " 'Shoot them.' ... And we all thought it was over." Another soldier intervened, saying that because the journalists are Americans they could not be shot.
— Photographer Lynsey Addario was punched, groped and threatened throughout. "Every man who came in contact with us basically felt every inch of my body short of what was under my clothes," she says.
Along with Shadid and Addario, Times staffers Stephen Farrell and Tyler Hicks were held. Turkish diplomats helped secure their release.
