The only ingredient missing from Friday night's matchup of unbeaten Santa Ana Mater Dei and unbeaten Harbor City Narbonne was snow, rain or a little mud, because the fourth quarter produced a defensive struggle that will be long remembered for its intensity and big-time hits.
In the end, a tipped pass by Narbonne's Sidney Watkins with one minute left on fourth down at the Narbonne 33-yard line enabled the Gauchos to hold on for an 18-17 victory.
By winning, Narbonne (5-0) has pulled off the improbable — knocking off Southern Section powers Long Beach Poly, Gardena Serra and Mater Dei in nonleague games to establish itself as one of the favorites to land a CIF regional playoff berth.
"We hold our own destiny," Coach Manuel Douglas said.
Narbonne wiped out a 17-12 deficit with 1 minute 4 seconds left in the third quarter when Johnell Jackson caught a 38-yard touchdown pass from Troy Williams on a swing pass for an 18-17 lead. The score was set up by a botched Mater Dei punt attempt.
The rest of the game was about whether Mater Dei could get into field-goal position, and three times, the host Gauchos' defense rose up to deny the Monarchs.
Yes, City Section fans have a right to brag, especially about the Gauchos' defense.
On the final play for Mater Dei, quarterback Ryan McMahon had an open receiver, but Watkins got his hand on the ball, and it fell harmlessly to the turf, setting off a celebration of pride and relief.
Narbonne was able to put enough pressure on McMahon and quarterback Chase Forrest to disrupt the Monarchs, recording four sacks. Paulo Lepua, a tackle, had another standout game for the Gauchos.
Give credit to Mater Dei for its patience and perseverance. Mater Dei's offense put together an 80-yard scoring drive to start the third quarter, doing something no team has done against the Gauchos' defense. Thomas Duarte caught a 34-yard pass to ignite the drive. Justin Allen's seven-yard touchdown run gave Mater Dei a 17-12 lead.
Narbonne's offense did little in the first half, but the Gauchos still held a 12-10 halftime lead on the strength of a 95-yard punt return for a touchdown by Keishawn Bierria and a 65-yard touchdown play by A.J. Richardson on a short pass from Williams.
The Gauchos turned the ball over twice with an interception and fumble, giving confidence to Mater Dei's defense.
Narbonne's defense came through with three sacks, but McMahon avoided the rush on a key play in the second quarter and was able to find a wide-open Duarte in the end zone for a 29-yard scoring play.
Duarte had seven receptions for 114 yards.
Narbonne will now focus on winning the City Section Division I title, and with its defense, don't think the Gauchos won't do it.

Re: Boston and Milwaukee should not be in the playoffs
posted at 4/19/2013 8:51 AM EDT
Let's be honest.
It doesn't matter who is 8th seed in the East. Miami will destroy them. Doesn't matter who the other teams are in the East. Miami will beat them. Injury is their only concern.In a perfect world every team in the play-offs should have won more games than they lost in the regular season. Happens a lot in the East. But it doesn't mean the team is rotten. Yes, they would not have made the post season if they were in the West. But that's how it works. I wouldn't support an idea of giving Utah a first round match up against Miami. Utah just should have won more games in during the season. Coming in and saying that Boston with a winning record ought not to be in the post season is weird. They have a winning record. Strikes me as just stirring people up for no reason. My question to the original poster. The Lakers made it all the way to the NBA FINALS. Yes the FINALS against Boston in 58/59. Their record 33 and 39. Should they have been allowed to play in the post season.According to your theory. They shouldn't have. Yet they made the finals. Curious what a team can do if they have a good run in the post season.

Congrats on a 41-40 record, getting out-scored this season and having the worst rebound differential in the league. I think Ainge should be nominated as GM of the year.
Boston is a plain, unattractive, average team and organization.
Same story, different year.

Yes it is, but they are in the East, so they get in.
Why don't you take your concerns to Stern?
The Seahawks had a losing record two years ago and made the NFL playoffs..........your "argument", as usual, is flawed.
And being "outscored" by .2 for a season is insignificant............
Maybe Boston wishes they were in the west and missed the playoffs.
Having a better chance at getting a better player to help their dreadful roster is not that bad of a thought...
We don't think our roster is "dreadful", but thanks for your concern.
Please worry about your own team and the fact you have to play 4 games in San Antonio, and leave the Celtics to us, okay Tommy?
funny this forum is fullof threads about the lakers' woes: crappiness will continue, anyone else sad about the lakers, gasoft whiners, ...
celtics fans worry about the lakers more than lakers fans. in contrary, you can hardly find a thread about celtic woes in the lakers forum. over there, the celtics are as relevant as the bobcats...
Simple - because they don't allow "trolls" over on lakers websites. I BET if Celtics fans infested a lakers board, the situations would be similiar.........

By Ashley D. Brown
FORTUNE -- We negotiate nearly every day. While the term "negotiation" often brings to mind larger-stake deals, such as the purchase of a new home or car, more often these negotiations are smaller and involve project deadlines at work or divvying up of household responsibilities.
Many of us, myself included, can't stand negotiations whether big or small -- so much so that it comes as a surprise that others actually relish each chance they get to negotiate.
Regardless of which camp you're in, most of us can relate to the feeling of pounding hearts and sweaty palms when we negotiate. Do these visceral responses -- also known as physiological arousal -- hurt or help us?
Most people (and existing research) consider sweating it to be detrimental; that the key to negotiating is to stay calm and collected. However, that's misleading, according to what I found in my research with Jared R. Curhan, which was recently published in Psychological Science. We found that sweaty palms and pounding hearts aren't inherently a bad thing. The effect really depends on your preexisting attitudes toward negotiation and whether you interpret these physiological responses as a sign of nervousness or excitement.
MORE: What can Comcast do to win over regulators?
We conducted two studies to explore the effects of arousal on negotiation outcomes: In the first, we measured individuals' prior attitudes toward negotiation. Several weeks later, these same individuals participated in an experiment in which they negotiated over the price of a used car while walking on a treadmill. Unbeknownst to the participants, we manipulated their heart rate through the speed of the treadmill, which was set by an experimenter.
Among those with negative attitudes toward negotiating, participants who walked at a faster pace -- or experienced high arousal -- reported lower satisfaction with their negotiations. They interpreted their heightened heart rate as an indicator of nervousness, which in turn, harmed their negotiating experience. By contrast, those who walked at a slower pace reported higher satisfaction.
Yet, we found the reverse among those with positive attitudes toward negotiating. Participants assigned to walk at a faster pace reported greater satisfaction with the negotiation compared to those assigned to walk at a slower pace. Those who enjoy negotiating seem to interpret increased heart rate as an indicator of excitement such that heightened arousal boosts their experience.
MORE: Why should UAW monopolize worker-management dialogue
In the second study, we wanted to see if this pattern also extends to economic performance. This time, we let some participants walk continuously while negotiating on their cell phones to increase their heart rate, whereas others stayed seated for their negotiations. Both groups conducted a mock employment negotiation over the phone.
Consistent with our findings from the first study, individuals who dread negotiating felt less satisfied when they experienced heightened arousal (triggered by walking) compared to when they remained seated. They also achieved lower economic outcomes. In contrast, individuals who enjoy negotiating felt more satisfied with the negotiation when walking throughout, and also performed better when aroused compared to when seated.
The lesson from these studies is that the conventional wisdom isn't always so wise. If you dread negotiating, you're probably best served trying to stay calm in your negotiations in order to minimize such visceral responses. On the other hand, if you look forward to negotiating, you might want to actively attempt to raise your heart rate beforehand. Although these studies were limited to negotiation, it's worthwhile to consider if the same lessons might apply to other contexts such as public speaking, test performance, or competitive sports. Whether we interpret our physiological arousal as nervousness or excitement might depend on our prior attitudes toward the task at hand. If it's something we dread, then making an effort to maintain our composure might be valuable.
But if it's a task we enjoy, it might be better to get pumped up!
Dr. Ashley D. Brown worked on this research as a Ph.D. student at the MIT Sloan School of Management with Prof. Jared R. Curhan. Brown is now a research associate in the Psychology Department at Stanford University.

Sotos syndrome
Other Names for this Disease
- Cerebral gigantism
- Distinctive facial appearance, overgrowth in childhood, and learning disabilities or delayed development
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
Sotos syndrome is a condition characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, overgrowth in childhood, and learning disabilities or delayed development. Affected individuals have facial features, most prominant in childhood, that include a long, narrow face; a high forehead; flushed (reddened) cheeks; and a small, pointed chin. In addition, the outside corners of the eyes may point downward (down-slanting palpebral fissures). Affected infants and children tend to grow quickly; they are significantly taller than their siblings and peers and have an unusually large head. People with Sotos syndrome often have intellectual impairment, and most also have behavioral problems. Problems with speech and language are also common. Additionally, weak muscle tone (hypotonia) may delay other aspects of early development, particularly motor skills such as sitting and crawling. Sotos syndrome is caused by mutations in the NSD1 gene. About 95% of cases represent new mutations and occur in families with no history of the condition. In a small number of families, the condition appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.[1]

Great, very close to the theater.
It was great - easy in and easy out - not too much walking. Attendant was also very helpful. We had to maneuver a wheelchair for my niece and the attendant helped when we had a problem getting up the "curb" area. He was not only helpful but very plesant.
Great location, right across the Bank of America theater, excellent direction, the attendant was very helpful.
it was perfect!
Our parking situation was excellent. Our GPS tried to send us all over the place, so the photo on the confirmation form really helped. We pulled in, got a space right away, right near the exit, walked across the street and were at the theater in no time. Then, since it was paid online ahead of time, we were able to pull out after the play and leave with no hassles. Will definitely use ParkWhiz again.

Hi Everyone,
I understand from the book (the schedules Bill mapped out as his sample workouts) that the weights are decreased at high points 9 and 10. Example (I lost the book so I have to put just exemplary figures here), the pattern is like this:
level five - 12 reps - 50 pounds
level six - 10 reps - 60 pounds
level seven - 8 reps - 70 pounds
level eight - 6 reps - 80 Pounds (in the book this is the highest weight in any exercise for any muscle group)
Then (where my question lies)
Level 9: he reduces the weights with no particular percentage to say 40 pounds or 50 or 25
Level 10: He reduces the weights even more. I am not detecting any percentage or relation either.
My questions are: (1) Why do we do this, and (2) what is the percentage or pattern we need to follow reducing weights? I have been reducing them randomly and sometimes I am not feeling I am hitting a high point. It's a hit and miss.
The numbers are just to explain. Thanks.
Courage isn't lack of fear. It's our ability to carry on despite our fear
Hi Ruby! In the book he tells you that after your Intensity 8(6reps) you need to go back to the weight you used for 8reps and do the Intesity 9(12 reps). He does not tell you what weight to use on your 10, but after you get to know your body, you should already know what weight to use for your last 12 reps in a different exercise. Hope this helps!
he decreases the weight but he also increases the reps, intensity of effort isnt only down to amount of weight lifted its to do with how many times you lift a weight also, plus your muscles are getting pre fatiqued from the sets you did previously so theres no choice but to decrease the weight, if your finding this too easy i would say your first 4 sets are too light
I think i missed where he said we need to decrease the weights at level 9 to that of level 7. His sample workout routines did not show it either. I will try it that way and see how it pans out.
I'm glad I looked at this old post. I'm in week 2 and didnt realize I was doing this wrong. I was actually trying to do the intensity 9/10 with a higher weight than intensity 8 and was having a hard time finishing the set. I would get to anywhere from rep 3-4-5 and just be so maxed out i'd have to lower the weight to finish the set.
No wonder, I wasnt doing it properly!
Hey Ruby,
I know you have already gotten a number of responses, but I thought I'd chime in as well.
Remember, you are not simply dropping the weight to a previous level. You are dropping set 5 (12 reps) to a weight that will require 90% effort. It may vary with each exercise. Dropping the weight to what you lifted on set 3 (8 reps) is just a starting point or estimate. You need to determine what weight requires 90% of your effort. On set 6 (final set), you want a weight that requires 100% effort. This is the set that causes you to feel like quitting after rep five, but you manage to get #6. You want to quit again after 6, but you find the fortitude to do 7. If you are doing this set correctly, this is how you feel until you somehow squeak out all 12.
As mentioned in another response, dropping weight on the last two sets is due to the increase in reps and muscle fatigue from your previous sets.
One final suggestion. If you get to twelve on the last set without feeling like you had to give everything (100% effort), do 13, 14 or 15 reps. If you are able to go past twelve, you know it is time to increase the weight for that last set.
Good Luck!

Introduction: Nikola Tesla
Born in a rural village in Croatia, Nikola Tesla would bring his brilliant scientific mind to America in 1884 to work with Thomas Edison. It was George Westinghouse, however, who fully recognized Tesla's brilliance and initiated a partnership with him. During that temporary partnership with Westinghouse and for many years that followed, Tesla generated amazing new advances in electrical engineering and earned patents by the dozen.
Who was Nikola Tesla? What were his contributions to research in high frequency phenomena?
These pages hold the answers to these questions and tell the fascinating story of one man's work.
At right is Tesla's File Card, from the Report of the Committee on Science and the Arts at The Franklin Institute for Case #1756, "Tesla Researches in High Frequency Phenomena." The application was filed on June 7, 1893.

Big data application platform company Concurrent has announced Lingual, an open source project for application development on Apache Hadoop. The Lingual offering centers around the chance for SQL users to create and run big data applications on Hadoop without any new training or having to think in MapReduce.

WebcastsMore >>
Analysts and developers, familiar with SQL, JDBC, or traditional BI tools, can use this new tool to create and run big data apps. Lingual presents a true ANSI-standard SQL interface and is compatible with all major Hadoop distributions, whether on-premise or in the cloud.
Lingual use-case examples include those utilized by developers who want to "cut and paste" existing ANSI SQL code from traditional data warehouses and instantly access data locked on a Hadoop cluster.
NOTE: Developers can use a standard Java JDBC interface to create new Hadoop applications, or use any of the Cascading APIs and languages, such as Scalding and Cascalog. Being ANSI-standard compliant, companies can now query and export data from Hadoop directly into traditional BI tools.
Chris Wensel, CEO and founder of Concurrent, explains that Cascading is also at the core of language extensions including PyCascading (Python + Cascading), Scalding (Scala + Cascading), and Cascalog (Clojure + Cascading) — open source projects sponsored by Twitter.

This document is an older, unmaintained guide. There may be a new guide available for this software.
Citadel is a groupware suite that provides system administrators with an easy method to set up and manage email, calendars, mailing lists and other collaboration tools. It also features an automated installation process and versatile deployment options that allow the application to be scaled across multiple servers.
Before installing Citadel, it is assumed that you have followed our getting started guide. If you're new to Linux server administration, you may be interested in our using Linux document series including the beginner's guide and administration basics guide.
This guide also assumes that you wish to run Citadel by itself on this server on port 80 or 443 for browser-based access. Please note: If you intend to install Citadel alongside another web server package such as Apache or nginx, select the "internal" option when asked about web server integration. Be sure to specify unique ports for Citadel such as 8080 for HTTP or 4343 for HTTPS.
Before you begin installing and configuring the components described in this guide, please make sure you've followed our instructions for setting your hostname. Issue the following commands to make sure it is set properly:
hostname hostname -f
The first command should show your short hostname, and the second should show your fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
Issue the following commands to install any outstanding package updates:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Issue the following commands to install the citadel-suite, spamassassin and amavisd-new packages:
apt-get install citadel-suite spamassassin amavisd-new
The installation process will prompt you to answer a couple of questions. Choose "0.0.0.0" for listen address, "No" for "Enable external authentication mode", and specify your admin username and password. Choose "Internal" for web server integration and enter "80" when asked the "Webcit HTTP port" question. Finally, choose your desired language. If you need to reconfigure any of these options later, you can use the following command:
dpkg-reconfigure citadel-server
Edit the /etc/mailname file to reflect your system's domain name:
You'll need to edit the SpamAssassin configuration file to enable spamd:
# Change to one to enable spamd
Start the spamassassin service as follows:
/etc/init.d/spamassassin start
Please note that you'll finish enabling SpamAssassin support within Citadel later in the "Notes" section.
Customize the logon banner for your Citadel server by editing the relevant file:
Citadel Groupware Server Login
Use the following startup script to initialize Citadel.
/etc/init.d/citadel restart
Visit the web interface in your Web browser. Using our preceding example, the Web address to visit would look like:
The SSL certificate for your Citadel web interface will be self-signed; accept it to continue. If you don't get a login page in your web browser, you may need to start "webcit" with the following command:
webcit -d
At this point, your email system should be fully functional and can be configured through the Webcit interface. When you log in for the first time as "Administrator", you will not need a password. However, it is recommended that you set a password as soon as possible under the "Advanced" tab.
To finish enabling SpamAssassin support, select "Administration" in the control panel. Next, click "Domain names and Internet mail configuration". Enter "127.0.0.1" in the box for the SpamAssassin host.
If you lose the password to your administrator account, re-run the setup as follows:
dpkg-reconfigure citadel-server
Specify a different name for the admin user and restart Citadel as follows:
/etc/init.d/citadel restart
You should be able to log in as the new admin user with no password. You may then reset the password for your original administrator account. After this is done, log back in as the original administrator and delete the temporary admin account.
You may wish to consult the following resources for additional information on this topic. While these are provided in the hope that they will be useful, please note that we cannot vouch for the accuracy or timeliness of externally hosted materials.

Hey Chicago! This Saturday, May 28th, cartoonist Wilfred Santiago will be at Chicago Comics signing his latest graphic novel 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente.
Chicago Comics is located at 3244 N. Clark Street, and the signing starts at 3:00 pm!
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "21: The Story of Roberto Clemente brings together comics and baseball, two of America's most popular conveyers of epic mythology. Author Wilfred Santiago also incorporates elements of classical and avant-garde jazz in his sinuously illustrated narrative of Clemente's life. It takes an imagination as rich as Mr. Santiago's to tap into various mythological languages to tell the Pittsburgh Pirate's iconic story... Instead of dwelling on sources of obvious resentment, Mr. Santiago defaults to illustrating Clemente's humanity. We're treated to close-ups of his most noble and ignoble moments. The artist refuses to treat him like a plastic saint, because a perfect Clemente would make boring reading, indeed. ...Wilfred Santiago has done as good a job as anyone ever has in reintroducing the longtime Pittsburgh Pirate to a new generation." – Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
• Review: "You'd be hard-pressed to find a more downright affable character than blithely blitzed Larrybear, the young female focus of Leslie Stein's ongoing semiautobiographical comic [Eye of the Majestic Creature ], whose first four issues are collected here.... Stein gives us the slackerly, star-eyed alternative to a cadre of 'misanthropic, self-pitying comics about unappreciated cartoonists,' as Tom De Haven characterized it... But where the aforementioned Crumb-descended misanthropes have all more or less grown up, Stein's Larrybear is a naïve woman on the verge of Whatever, a cute Candide floundering about in an increasingly complicated world. ...[T]his book [is] such a pleasure..." – Richard Gehr, The Comics Journal
• Review: "Lewis Trondheim is one of the world's best cartoonists.... Approximate Continuum Comics is some of Trondheim's earliest autobiographical work, dating mostly from 1993 and 1996. If you're read his more recent slivers of life observations... then you already know the sublime wit and casual self-deprecation of Trondheim's cartooning. Approximate Continuum Comics is where that [tack] begins." – Michael C. Lorah, Newsarama
• Review: "Love from the Shadows is a very strange story. Surreal is such an overused word, but it is the best description I can come up with to describe the tone of the work. There is a disjointed, dream-like progression to the narrative.... As with so much of Hernandez's work, it is beautifully illustrated. The art is suffused with emotion and atmosphere and eroticism. The work Hernandez does is a critical component to his examining all of the societal, psychological, and sexual issues. …Love from the Shadows [is] an intriguing, offbeat story that is open to examination and interpretation. …Love from the Shadows is an intellectually stimulating read. And the artwork is magnificent." – Benjamin Herman, Associated Content
• Review: "The Littlest Pirate King is a wonderful phantasmagoria, as likely to entertain a ten year old as a thirty year eight year old (and I say this having had the book pulled off my lap and spirited away by my own ten year old). There is a lovely innocence to proceedings, a seemingly uncalculated desire to thrill and chill and transport... that has had me flicking back through the book a good dozen times since I've read it. This is the kind of book that got me reading books when I was a wee nipper, and it's the kind of book that keeps me reading now that I'm the furthest possible thing from a wee nipper." – Bookmunch
• Review: "Blazing Combat is a book I'm quite proud to have in my collection. It's a work of art, has a message that's strong even over 40 years after the material was first created, and I'll come back to this at least once every few years." – Philip Reed, BattleGrip
• List: Library Journal's Martha Cornog gathers recommended graphic novels dealing with themes of Health & Medicine, including:
Special Exits by Joyce Farmer: "An excellent alert for those new to the path (for themselves or for relatives) and a validation for those already familiar with this normal yet seemly so abnormal life stage."
Alex by Mark Kalesniko: "This exploration of depression, futile escapism, and the healing power of art has been described as a difficult read but very funny."
Giraffes in My Hair: A Rock 'n' Roll Life by Bruce Paley & Carol Swain: "Hanging out here and crashing there, Paley narrates vignettes of debauchery and daily life in a Woodstock version of American Splendor. Partner Swain's smudgy, black-and-white drawings carry his grimy, nostalgic account."
Mother, Come Home by Paul Hornschemeier: "An exquisitely written and beautifully drawn exploration of grief."
Rip M.D. by Mitch Shauer, Mike Vosburg et al.: "A 'full-color, all-ages adventure' with an animated cartoon series in development, and a promising bet for reluctant readers."
• List: Robot 6's Chris Mautner names "Six noteworthy debut comics," saying of R. Kikuo Johnson's Night Fisher "this tale of disaffected adolescence and drug dealing in Hawaii is certainly compelling and suggests that Johnson is an artist capable of producing great work. Unfortunately, he has yet to follow up on that initial promise. But Night Fisher still marks him as an artist to watch out for."
• Profile: Time Out Chicago's Web Behrens catches up with Paul Hornschemeier: "'It is one of those names: You're destined to either be a writer or scientist,' says local author-artist Paul, the man both blessed and saddled with the brainy surname. 'You're not going to be a rock star with a name like Hornschemeier.'"
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Plug: "Drawn in expressionistic black, white, and Pirates gold, this biography of the slugger and humanitarian [21: The Story of Roberto Clemente]... drives home the impact he had on fans and friends." – Dan Kois, Vulture — New York
• Commentary: At his Sekvenskonst blog, Joakim Gunnarsson examines Buz Sawyer Vol. 1: The War in the Pacific by Roy Crane from a production & restoration standpoint, and the book's editor Rick Norwood provides some explanation and context in the comments section
It was a slam dunk when artist Wilfred Santiago stopped by the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery earlier this month with a touchdown on his new book 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente, and I... I...
I don't know anything about sports.
But that's what made the talk so interesting and informative for me. Santiago sat down with local best-selling author Rob Neyer, national baseball editor for SBNation.com, and together, they introduced me to this inspirational athlete, whose accomplishments during his short life extended way beyond the dugout.
Thanks to Rob and Wilfred for the engaging discussion at the store, and thanks to everyone for coming out on a rare sunny Seattle evening to participate and listen! If you live outside of Seattle, or just weren't able to make it for some reason, we've got video of their talk right here! (Please excuse the background noise... Not surprisingly, Steven Jesse Bernstein was talking about this neighborhood in his poem "More Noise Please.")
[On YouTube in two parts here and here, in case the embedded videos don't show above.]
After the talk, our curator Larry Reid turned the radio dial to the Mariners game (we're doing... bad?), and fans of baseball and comic arts lined up to get their books signed by Santiago.
There's more pics to see on the Fantagraphics Flickr page. Wilfred has some more events lined up, and I highly encourage everyone, sports fan or not, to go! We'll keep you posted with future signings and events right here on the Fantagraphics FLOG.
Pittsburgh residents are in for treat as artist Wilfred Santiago will be signing 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente this Saturday, May 21st at Phantom of the Attic.
This signing is especially poignant, as Clemente found fame with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and locals are sure to recognize some landmarks in Santiago's excellent artwork.
And with The Clemente Museum based in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh, you could make an entire day of it, and celebrate this great man!
Wilfred Santiago signing 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente.
Phantom of the Attic is located at 411 S. Craig Street, Second Floor. The signing starts at 1:00 pm, so don't be late!
The Online Commentary & Diversions hamster wheel started spinning a little too fast, but I think I've got it back under control now:
• Feature: For Largehearted Boy's "Book Notes" feature, Wilfred Santiago creates a musical playlist for 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente: "Golden age animation has been a big influence on my work and the graphic novel itself is very musical. It would be interesting to see the shape that it would take as a feature film. So here is what the 21 soundtrack would sound like."
(The following links are via the Largehearted Boy link above:)
• Review: "The graphic novel [21] is a beautifully wrought Clemente collage, following the hitter from the impactful events of childhood through his career as a Pirate and up to his untimely death. While there were several poignant dramatic through lines, the book's strength lies in its brilliant visuals, which far outweigh its strictly biographical content. In addition to his many other notable qualities, like his humanitarianism and his greatness as a player, Clemente was a beautiful man, with a striking physicality. Drawing on this aesthetic truth, Santiago stuns and heightens it, with an imaginative and dramatic illustrative style, with its palette of Pirates yellow, and orange and black. The oral tradition of myth-making is put into visual form here." – Ted Walker, Pitchers & Poets
• Review: "The comic book biography is alive and well in 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente... In 21, Wilfred Santiago, who was also born in Puerto Rico, uses the language of comic books to tell the story of Clemente's life as something like the arc of the hero's journey or as a heroic epic.... 21 captures what made Clemente unique. However, Santiago uses the medium of the comic book in a unique way to tell the story of man who represents the best of us. [Grade] A-" – Leroy Douresseaux, I Reads You
• Review: "...I love a good graphic novel biography. Well as those of you who are familiar with the great baseball player and humanitarian that Roberto Clemente was already know, it would be hard to tell his story in any media and for that story not to be powerful. ...21 ... is a handsome production... [and] an... EXCELLENT graphic novel." – Ralph Mathieu, Ich Liebe Comics!
• Plug: "21: The Story of Roberto Clemente by Wilfred Santiago, a graphic novel by an illustrator and writer from Puerto Rico, received a nice write up in a recent issue of Sports Illustrated (linked here)... If we could only have found it at the book store. Sports shelves? Graphic novels? You give it a shot." – Tom Hoffarth, Los Angeles Daily News
• Review: "...Mattotti is an artist who is equally concerned with complex imagery and sharp storytelling — attention to that combination leads us to what makes Mattotti so great. Claudio Piersanti wrote a very crisp script for Stigmata, and Mattotti illuminates the story deftly, probably because he has a real appreciation for well told stories.... If one's standard for great cartooning is drawing that tells a story without a shred of vagueness, Mattotti's work on the events described above is thrilling in its virtuosity. But this is a work of art far more potent than a simple story well-told. Mattotti's two extremes — that of high level storytelling and drawing that suggests unique emotions — exist side by side without any fuss." – Austin English, The Comics Journal
• Review: "While the core timeline of Freeway is only a few hours of frustration spent in traffic, Alex's mind wanders through past fiction and reality, present fact, and fantasy. Kalesniko, who himself worked at Disney as an animator, designed his main character as an anthropomorphic dog. The result is a wistful, innocent, and somewhat naive protagonist who is coming to the realization that his childhood dreams aren't quite turning out as he planned.... It is definitely worth the challenge of meandering through the crammed vehicles to reach those poignant moments of Alex's life, moments many of us share in our own versions of our adult selves." – Ashley Cook, Giant Fire Breathing Robot
• Review: "Less able graphic novelists might scare themselves silly with the scope of this book, but Mark Kalesniko's attention to detail in all aspects of his craft — the backgrounds, the emotional ranges of the characters and the slow but steady-paced urbane drama — blends the components together masterfully.... [Freeway] is deeply sophisticated and literary. It deals with humanity's big questions – love, death, life, and what we do with our time. It's funny, touching, heart-warming, tragic and very engaging." – Andy Shaw, Grovel
• Review: "Gilbert's sketches actually give an insight into how he feels about his characters, and as a reader, I found myself understanding the characters a bit more, just by looking at his drawings.... The work in the 'Jaime' section is quite beautiful and well drawn, however, it does not give further insights into the ways in which Jaime sees his characters, or what he has planned for them... To sum up, Love and Rockets Sketchbook Volume 2 is pretty awesome." – Lisa Polifroni, lisaloves2read
• Interview: At Inkstuds, a 2008 conversation with Johnny Ryan conducted and with illustations by Josh Bayer: "It's interesting that you bring it up because people always demand that artists deliver some sort of meaning and truth, and when that truth's hideous they throw up their arms and get upset and have hurt feelings and it's 'you're ruining people's lives.' There's conflict; you want the art to be true, but don't want to be shown stuff that makes you feel bad, you can't make people feel good all the time, it's not true, the object is to make people feel something. There's no rule that it has to be something good."The Daily Cross Hatch wraps up their serialization of the transcript of Brian Heater's MoCCA panel conversation with Peter Bagge: "I used to worry about what my peers thought. That's a big mistake. Never worry about what your peers think, because then you always find out that they would have done it in a heartbeat. [Laughter] If you take anything away from this conversation, it should be 'fuck Dan Clowes.'"
• Feature: The Seattle Times' Marian Liu previews our Charles Peterson: Taking Punk to the Masses exhibit at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery: "'I was wondering why this kid was bothering to take photos,' said Larry Reid, curator of the Fantagraphics show, of Peterson. Now, flipping through the photos, Reid remembers each scene as if it happened yesterday. Drawn to the energy of the music, Reid was a good decade older than many in the scene then. He shepherded the artists by promoting their shows and allowing them to play in his gallery's basement. 'I can recognize the artists by their shoes,' said Reid, looking through the photos."
• Plug: "For a reality check, I turned to a former Rolling Stone colleague and friend who always seemed to have a better line on all things cultural than anyone else around and a way of stating his position in a manner that set him apart, way apart, from other music writers — make that writers, period — of his time, and boy does he put today's snarky music press to shame. This would be the late Paul Nelson... (Nelson's life and work are getting their just due in September with the publication of a long-awaited, diligently researched biography by Kevin Avery, Everything Is An Afterthought: The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson. Full disclosure: Yours truly was among those Avery interviewed. But buy the book anyway.)" – David McGee, The Bluegrass Special
• Plug: "I'm in the process of reading an advance of Everything Is An Afterthought, Kevin Avery's biography and selected works of the music critic Paul Nelson. Reading Nelson's writing reminds me how of the role that he and other music critics of the time — our own John Swenson included — played in creating the myth of New York City for me." – Alex Rawls, OffBeat
• Plug: "The 63-page conversation between mad geniuses Al Jaffee and Michael Kupperman in the new issue of The Comics Journal" lands on the "Lowbrow/Brilliant" quadrant of New York magazine's "Approval Matrix"
• Plug: "Back in 2003, Lou Reed paid tribute to poet Edgar Allen Poe with his sprawling The Raven, which didn't exactly strike a positive chord with the many critics and fans at the time. Nevertheless, Reed will now be revisiting that album with a new illustrated book. The book, also titled The Raven, was made in collaboration with Italian illustrator Lorenzo Mattotti.... We originally called The Raven 'bizarre and thoroughly uneven.' We'll have to see if this new illustrated spin helps to make the entire album a bit more rewarding." – Alex Hudson, exclaim.ca
• Essay: Twilight of the Assholes cartoonist/writer Tim Kreider recounts his experiences with internet dating for Nerve
• Feature: Friday was the last day of Joyce Farmer's "Cartoonist's Diary" at The Comics Journal
• History: At Torontoist, Jamie Bradburn looks back to the 1954 debut of a little comic strip called Peanuts in the Toronto Telegram
Listen to internet radio with Mr Media Interviews on Blog Talk Radio
Daily OCD Extra: Wilfred Santiago was the guest on Bob Andelman's Mr. Media interview program on BlogTalkRadio yesterday, talking about his new graphic novel 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente. Listen via the embedded player above or download the MP3 here.
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "What Santiago has done [in 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente] is to create a sketch of Clemente's life as he actually led it, not as the legend he became. Mundane village life in Puerto Rico, the challenges of racism and assimilation in the U.S., petty arguments, heroic deeds both on and off the field: all of these are given equal footing. Even more impressive is the way Santiago tells this story. His gorgeous illustrations... perfectly capture the period (1950s and '60s). And his storytelling is practically mosaic: overlapping dialogue; snippets of scenes fading in and out without introduction or conclusion; information spread all over the page. This is a book to be pored over, not read straight through." –Mark Flowers, School Library Journal
• Profile: "Chicago-based, Puerto Rico-born writer and comics artist Wilfred Santiago has managed to capture both aspects of Clemente — the legend and the human being — in his new graphic novel 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente.... 'He's like Clark Kent who turns into Superman,' Santiago says. 'There's a transformation from Roberto Clemente the family man, to Roberto Clemente the baseball superstar. As soon as he gets into the stadium, he turns into something else, right?'" – Michael Machosky, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
• Review: At Lo Spazio Bianco, Italian cartoonist Squaz pens a comic-strip review of Michael Kupperman's Tales Designed to Thrizzle Vol. 1, calling it "Brilliant! Amazing! Liberating!" (yes, I typed out all the text into Google Translate)
• Interview: Comic Book Resources' Alex Dueben talks with Peter Bagge about all his latest releases: "I always have lots of story ideas for [Buddy and Lisa]. My main concern now is to figure out a story arc so I can make some semblance of a 'graphic novel' out of all these Annual stories."
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "It may seem hard to believe today, but Gottfredson's strip was a fluid, rubber-limbed, sassy, slangy, breathless, seamless mix of absurdity and adventure. The proof is here. Fantagraphics intends to reprint the whole shooting match, and here in [Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse] Volume One are the first two years.... The various inkers and pencillers who worked on the strip are profiled, and intelligent remarks are made on the strip's economic and cultural issues. We could only wish the reproduction on these dailies were larger; otherwise it's pretty much an ideal volume. Rating: 9/10" – Michael Barrett, PopMatters
• Review: "...I am a complete sucker for history and particularly graphic biographies — especially when they are as innovative and imaginative as this superbly passionate and evocative account of the life of a groundbreaking sports star, quietly philanthropic humanitarian and culture-changing champion of ethnic equality.... Rather than a dry accounting of his life, author Wilfred Santiago's tale skips forward and back, illustrated in a studied and fiercely expressionistic melange of styles which sketch in tone and mood, and feel the life of a true frontrunner and a very human hero.... Lusciously realised in sumptuous earth-tones and powerfully redolent of the spirit of Unjust Times A-Changin', [21: The Story of Roberto Clemente] is a fabulous book for every fan of the medium and not simply lads and sports-fans." – Win Wiacek, Now Read This!
• Review (Video): The hosts of The Backroom Comics Podcast discuss Jacques Tardi's The Arctic Marauder (starts about 33:16): "It can't be denied that this is gorgeous, gorgeous comic... the artwork is incredible....[It's] incredible in its pacing, its artistry, its storytelling..." "It is an incredibly well-done book and the quality of it for the price — it's amazing, honestly.... Don't cheat yourself. Read the thing."
• Review (Audio): On The Savage Critics' Wait, What? podcast, cohost Graeme McMillan discusses Dave McKean's Celluloid (starts at 50:28): "Looking through it, I was like 'oh, this is really Dave McKean-y, but I don't really see it as porn' — until there was a part where I was like 'oh, yes it is.' There's actually a part where he manages to meld the two really, realy well, and in a way that I did not expect — from him, but also just in general. Like I was surprised to see it.... If you just like McKean, it's got some stunningly good work in there, and it's very much in keeping with a McKean-ness... so on that level, even if you have no interest in the story or the concept, just as a piece of McKean's work I think it's really worth seeing."
• Plug: "Taking Punk to the Masses: From Nowhere to Nevermind and Beyond... is not a graphic novel, it's more of a gallery/ cultural history book but it's published by Fantagraphics (mostly a comics publisher). Fantagraphics was every bit as important to the sub-culture scene of Seattle in the '90s as Sub Pop Records was. This book traces the history of Grunge and the punk sub-culture of Seattle from the '70s through the '90s. Did I mention it comes with a DVD loaded with interviews from underground luminaries?" – Benn Ray (Atomic Books), Largehearted Boy

Formal CBA talks are set to resume Tuesday in New York after more than two weeks of silence.
While the NHL and NHLPA are still slinging angry rhetoric, a closer look at the NHLPA's most recent proposals shows the sides are indeed creeping closer to each other and other news and notes from around the hockey world.
As Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr meet privately for the second time in two days, the NHL and NHLPA meet on Saturday to discuss the definitions of HRR.
Gary Bettman has repeatedly used the NFL as an example of why the players should accept a lower revenue. The details of the two situations, however, don't add up.
The fundamental lack of trust between the NHL and NHLPA has prevented any meaningful negotiations leading up to the impending NHL lockout and other news and notes from around the hockey world.
The NHLPA made a last minute counter-proposal today that was once again deemed "unacceptable" by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, speaking on behalf of the league's 30 owners. The NHL then countered with what is being described by media as a significan
It's becoming more and more clear that the real sticking point in the current negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA involve what defines hockey-related revenue and other news and notes from around the NHL.
Gary Bettman and Bill Daly met with brothers Donald and Steve Fehr briefly this morning while the league explained their new offer. Fehr returned to the PA offices to confer with players for 3.5 hours before returning to meet with Bettman briefly for
The NHL commissioner showed the owners have no incentive to speed up the CBA negotiations as they already know the fans will come back no matter what happens and other news and notes from around the NHL.
The Stars announced a new partnership with UT-Southwestern as their official medical care provider, and one hockey blogger has some questions about the ethics of that, along with other news and notes from around the NHL.

All I can say is wow!!! I finally got the 16 inch fret leveler and 220 sand paper. This tool made fret leveling fun instead of such a long process and with a little elbow grease the frets were leveled in no time. Thanks Stewmac you're awesome!!!
The 16 inch tubular is a perfect weight and length for accomplishing a full fret level when coupled with 3m 320 grit sticky back. This is the tool!
Nice heavy weight makes leveling a breeze. Also have the aluminum radius sanding beams but this is a lot heavier. Great for compound fret boards where radius sanding beams are not appropriate.
OK, there's not a lot you can do wrong with such a tool but nobody said that.
It's nice, heavy, tough and of course perfectly flat. Good.
I was hesitant to purchase initially, but glad I did. I like the weight. Even though my first use was on a 16 inch radius, I had no problems retaining the radius. I was very pleased with the result.
I use this beam all the time,it's great. Takes all the guess work out of it. Planning on getting the other sizes too.
This makes a quick, very accurate job out of any leveling. Every shop should have one.
This is a great tool for getting the bulk of the frets level because of its weight. I barely apply any pressure and it does all the work. A staple in my shop.
Last night I used the new Stew Mac Fret/Fingerboard Leveler. It was not very exciting it worked, but no better than the Stew Mac Aluminum Radius-sanding Beam.
The bad: Not worth the money. One of the large flat surfaces should have been milled.
The good: It's heavy, long, and pretty flat. 320 grit sandpaper leaves fewer marks than the extra-fine diamond sharpening stones or my files.
Still not satisfied maybe it is time for a Plek Machine.
I have two of these and love them, the wieght makes leveling more or less effortless and they can be used for many many other things besides leveling fingerboards and frets

Hi, in the past two weeks three of my netbooks/laptops have become infected. I got the popup on my Acer netbook telling me to update Flash Player and it was all downhill from there. I uninstalled Flash Player but was still getting the update popup. Thus far I have run: Malwarebytes, Windows Defender, Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, Microsoft Security Essentials and Norton Anti-Virus. The only things found were a couple of tracking cookies and a new Task added to run the Flash Player update prompt every hour. When I deleted that I stopped receiving the popups.
After several (many) attempts I finally installed AVG. It did find a Trojan and removed it. I thought that had resolved the problem but now when my netbook times out I get a blue screen prompting me to upgrade to the latest version of...you guesssed it....Flash Player.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestions for this problem. Is this the same problem that was around in 2010?
That is not flash asking you, Flash will never ask you to update the player unless you go to a website and then it will state its not installed. Always go to the main website to update the flash player.
here is a artical refering to that tojan
Hi, yes I understand that this malware is just using the Flash name and that it has nothing to do with Flash or Adobe. However, I cannot find anything that tells me how to remove it and how to confirm that it's removed. The fact that I'm still getting a blue screen (PC) tells me that I haven't eliminated the problem completely.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I need some tech help. Your link will certainly help with the Macbook.

Can you post a screenshot of that "blue screen"? (It is not a BSOD, I hope.)
he two best free virus producs are
use the AVG first to remove or quarantine any viruses, then CC cleaner to remove the items from internet browsers and cache.
You may have to go back to a previous restore point on your windows BEFORE the installation of the virus but AFTER you remove it. Most viruses are immune to restore points as they mark themselved as Read Only files.
This can be done in safe mode if you can not boot windows normally.
I have been running AVG and CC Cleaner and a number of other programs (please see first post). Today's scan showed no virus or malware. I am getting messages from AVG that Internet Exprorer is using a large amount of resources. I am running Firefox, not IE.
I did go back to a previous restore point after running all of the programs but I haven't eliminated the malware so that won't be effective.
I took a screenshot of the blue screen but unfortunately I wasn't able to upload it. I pasted it into a word doc. Please tell me how to post it here and I'll put it right up. Thanks!!
You cannot upload Word docs, just plain images (jpg, png, gif, etc.) using the camera icon in the forum editor. On Windows you can paste it into Paint, or any other imaging software.
If thoes programs are not detecting anything than most likely the virus and malware has been removed.
The error your getting is most likely a file that has been damaged, if it still happens after a restore than its a file that is probably not a windows system file but can still effect windows.
At this point you have to get the code fromt the blue screen and track what is broken. Most Blue screen codes are driver error codes.
|serial port
|parallel port
|math coprocessor
|hard disk
here is a list of codes, you will see a long number usaly 17xx000000000000 this would meen the hardrive has a problem.. ext.. plug these into google to track down your info.
Hope this helps.
what happens when you click ok? if nothing then just go to www.adobe.com and download the latest version of flash.
That looks like some ACER update checker. Most likely that can be turned off by going to
Start>Run>Msconfig>start up (tab)> then find the Acer updater.
That seems to have taken care of it. I disabled the Acer updater in msconfig and was then able to install Flash Player. So far I haven't seen anything unusual going on so it looks like it's fixed.
Thanks so much for everyone's help. I really appreciate it.
Now on to the laptop!!!
Glad to have helped. Enjoy.

Adam Lambert is joining the cast of "Glee."
As creator Ryan Murphy tweeted, "I am thrilled to announce that the super talented Adam Lambert is joining the cast of 'Glee' this fall."
Details of Lambert's role on the show have yet to be revealed. We also don't know if he'll be a guest star, a recurring character, or a series regular.
The cast has undergone quite a shakeup recently. Heather Morris, Mark Salling, Amber Riley, and Harry Shum Jr. were recently demoted to guest roles, while newbies Melissa Benoist, Blake Jenner, Becca Tobin, Jacob Artist, and Alex Newell were promoted to series regulars.
Given the recent developments on the show, including the uneven season 4 and the over-emphasis on the new kids, I was not looking forward to the upcoming season of "Glee." However, with Adam joining the cast, I might have reason to be excited again.
Here's a look at a few ways they could write him into the show.
Breaking Up The Kurt & Blaine Engagement
It's obvious that Blaine (Darren Criss) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) are not ready to get married. They're too young, and they're not even officially dating right now.
During season 4, a meeting with a lesbian couple (Patty Duke and Meredith Baxter) inspired Blaine in his decision to propose to Kurt.
Blaine had mentioned wishing he had more LGBT role models to look up to. Why not let Adam's character become a mentor for Blaine? Maybe Glambert would be able to get through to him and talk him out of this hair(gel)-brained proposal.
Rival Love Interest For Kurt
Alternatively, why not bring Glambert's character to NYADA?
He could play a senior or a graduate student. I'd be interested to see him as a rival love interest for Kurt. Glambert and the Adam's Apples director (Oliver Kieran-Jones) could engage in a battle of dueling Adams.
Replacement for Mr. Schue
I was particularly impressed with Adam's appearance as a mentor on "American Idol." He was refreshingly honest to the contestants, offered helpful critiques, and seemed genuinely invested in their success.
I loved Mr. Schue's (Matthew Morrison) character during season 1, but since then, he's become a deadweight. He's become this cliche jaded arts ed teacher who doesn't have friends his own age, and is vicariously living through his students.
During season 4, I found myself wanting to fast forward the McKinley scenes and to just watch Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt in New York. Could Adam as a New Directions choir director revive viewer interest in the McKinley story lines?
Actors like Cheyenne Jackson and Neil Patrick Harris had memorable guest roles on "Glee," hilariously playing New Directions enemies.
Adam could potentially shine in a comedic role, playing a Vocal Adrenaline coach, a jaded show choir judge, an arts administrative bureaucrat, or even an accomplice for Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).
Would you tune into see Adam on "Glee"? What kind of character should he play?
