I was doublecharged by the hotel, which I only happened to notice afterwards. I called when I saw this and was forced to "leave a message" with accounting. I feel like this type of error should be promptly handled.

Beds were extremely comfortable. Bathroom was clean, nicely furnished. The separate shower and tub was convenient after a visit to the pool with children.
Porte-cochère was overcrowded at check-in. The two valets appeared to be behind on service for incoming guests. Parked on side of hotel in truck loading zone for check-in, self parked.
Unlike most hotels, the resort fee included some benefits.

- Grilled Pig Heart with cucumber, pumpkin seed and green tomato salad
- Deep fried porgy with tomatoes and bottarga

The bank said it had become aware of a "third-party business information breach". It would not be more specific, but this could mean that a retailer or credit clearing house had lost customers' data.
Citibank said that last month it had detected "several hundred fraudulent cash withdrawals in three countries".
As a result, said the bank, it was re-issuing cards to those customers affected. It said it had already blocked PIN-based transactions on some of the cards that have been compromised, preventing any ATM withdrawals.
The Bank of America recently reported its second major data breach in a year. The largest US bank cancelled the debit cards of a number of its customers following a data security breach at an undisclosed company. It is not clear whether the breach affected an online company or a high street chain.
The bank did not disclose the number of customers affected, but it said many would have their cards cancelled and replaced as a precaution.

Peter Rusland's story on the Bamberton LNG contoversy was originally published in the South Cowichan Echo.
Unanimous opposition by Cowichan's regional directors to Steelhead LNG's proposed floating facility off Bamberton is causing plenty of private legal ripples.Those waves could see directors change their minds at their March 9 board meeting.
And debate around this regional ruling could address fears of libel chill here and elsewhere.
At issue is the Cowichan Valley Regional District's Feb. 10 unanimous decision based on Cowichan Bay Director Lori Iannidinardo's resolution, seconded by Duncan Director Sharon Jackson.
It reads: "That the CVRD advise Steelhead LNG that the CVRD is opposed to any LNG facility being located at Bamberton, or anywhere else in the regional district."
The motion passed after board debate surrounding possible ecological damage, public safety risks, climate change, and other regions passing similar resolutions.
CVRD's environmental services manager, Kate Miller, is not believed to have been publicly involved in the LNG resolution debate.
But debate and the vote was heard by other CVRD brass paid to detect any potential legal fallout about board resolutions.
No cautions were voiced publicly Feb. 10 by CVRD executives, including CAO Brian Carruthers.
However, reports from various private meetings after that decision, made to protect Cowichan from possible harm, tell a different story.
The Echo obtained a private legal option sent Feb. 17 to Carruthers, and planning and development general manager Ross Blackwell, by CVRD lawyer Peter Johnson.
It basically cautions the CVRD against being seen to have made decisions in advance of Steelhead's land-rezoning application, that has yet to be made.
Johnson suggests a board statement confirming Steelhead's pending application "will be given due consideration, in accordance with the board's development approval procedures and the requirements of the Local Government Act, would be beneficial and should provided early in the process."
Johnson notes since the CVRD expects Steelhead's rezoning application, directors "should avoid statements of opposition to the application that suggest thy have made a final decision before having considered the application on its merits."
Carruthers told the Echo "… Neither Ross Blackwell nor I have met with Steelhead LNG and I can't speak to whether Steelhead has met with other staff."
"… CVRD staff meet with individuals and companies on a daily basis to discuss various application processes."
Johnson cites case law showing elected officials can hold and express opinions about community issues.
"However, when the board's legislative decision-making functions are engaged, board members must be careful to avoid statements that are suggestive of having a closed mind."
Iannidinardo may have overstepped that line when commenting to a radio station about the board's anti-LNG ruling.
Iannidinardo got a legal opinion Feb. 24 from her lawyer, Jack Woodward.
"I feel angry, disappointed, and sad," she said.
"I absolutely believe I've done nothing wrong. I always remain open-minded on everything."
Woodward explains fairness by elected folks "goes without saying."
And Woodward argues with Johnson's view, saying "an ameliorating statement" to Steelhead from the board is unnecessary.
Pulling from the same case law Johnson cites, Woodward states "politicians like yourself (Iannidinardo) are protected by the courts in having the freedom to make political decisions and represent the people who elected them."
Furthermore, legal rules against bias are "partially relaxed for politicians who are entitled, even encouraged, to express their views robustly in the public forum.
"Some degree of pre-judgement is inherent in the role of a councillor."
Woodward notes Steelhead had made no formal application, and may or may not.
If they do, directors must basically keep open minds, despite their Feb. 10 resolution opposing LNG here.
"The resolution you passed is an expression of your views as an elected politician. You can't be muzzled. Be fearless.
"If Steelhead makes an application to the board, you must review the application on its own merits and express no bias against Steelhead," Woodward advises Iannidinardo.
Richard Hughes, a former Cobble Hill director, was blunt in his suspicions.
"There is a great deal of effort and expense going into CAO Brian Carruthers and board chairman Jon Lefebure's freak out over the board's unanimous motion opposing LNG facilities proposed at Bamberton, or anywhere else in the CVRD.
Hughes claims Carruthers and Lefebure publicly stated they were seeking a legal opinion.
"The legal opinion has been billed to the citizens of Cowichan. Why did they seek an opinion, and why hasn't it been made public?"
Carruthers and Lefebure said they could not comment about: what's said in private meetings; if and why the CVRD may have gotten a legal opinion about the LNG resolution; if they or staff made promises to Steelhead; if Steelhead has threatened legal action; or if environment minister Mary Polak mentioned CVRD's LNG opposition ruling when she met privately with directors Feb. 12 in Duncan.

This is…oh, just read…
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.
The post goes on to talk about Bush's new substitute for the Kyoto Protocol, the Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate.
From The Sydney Morning Herald:
The American-led partnership is a challenge to the Kyoto Protocol, promising co-operation with developing countries and increased use of new technologies to reduce global warming.
The agreement – covering the United States, China, India, Australia, Japan and South Korea – set out a new agenda identifying mutual interest and commercial benefit as keys to a cleaner environment. The details will be negotiated at a meeting in Adelaide in November. The ministerial meeting was expected to set up a joint fund to finance projects aimed at cutting the emissions, the Industry Minister, Ian Macfarlane, said yesterday.
So what are these "plans" that Powerline is going ga-ga over?
- Climate change agreement signed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging use of technology.
- Agreement covers Australia, US, China, Japan, India and South Korea.
- Members will contribute to a fund to finance clean technology projects.
- Unlike Kyoto, it does not include specific targets for reducing harmful gases.
So while the plan could be promising, please…for the sake of me being able to eat tonight…let's be realistic already Powerline. They haven't even gotten to the most important part in negotiations…the details, which are going to be decided in November.
I'm all for increased cooperation, but given the Administration's track record with foreign policy and the environment, forgive me if I'm taking a "wait-and-see" stance.

It may seem obvious, but here's what information you need to include in your wedding invitation wording. In the next post we'll discuss what other items you might need in terms of stationery for your wedding.
Invitations are traditionally sent out 6-8 weeks before the wedding, so you should probably start researching and organising them at least 3 months before – many brides will start investigating wedding stationery way earlier than that – well, it is fun! It's easy to get inspiration from magazines and of course on the internet. For most brides, it's a whole new area to explore and they will be eager to compare styles and prices and look for something that appeals. Of course each person's style and theme is very individual, so the range of designs is huge – but all wedding invitations must contain some basic essential information.
The way in which the invitation begins depends on who is actually issuing the invitation – it can be the bride's parents, both sets of parents or the couple themselves. Etiquette dictates that the people contributing financially are the ones who are "issuing" the invitation. The tone can range from warm and friendly for relaxed, intimate weddings to very formal for those which are going to be grand affairs!
Obviously, the main information is whose wedding it is, and of course when and where the ceremony is to take place.
Most ceremonies are followed by a reception, so the venue for this will also be included on the invitations. If both are at the same place, all you need is a line that says "with the following reception", with an indication of the starting time.
Dress code is optional but would be included near the bottom, and lastly a date by which the RSVP is requested – sometimes the RSVP details can appear at the bottom of the invitation too: this may be a street address, phone number or email – or all three. Many people prefer to have a separate card for the responses and we will discuss this in the next post.
These are the basic things to include on your invitations – also do not forget that there may be an additional cost if you opt to have your guests' names printed on the invitation and/or their addresses printed on the envelopes, but this can really enhance the look of the whole thing and make it look very professional.

13 months of this left. Oh God. I don't think I can get through this without a lot of scotch. And I don't drink scotch.
I think I'm done with NAQV. I come here for the chuckles, not the politics. If I want political cartoons, I'll mosey over to Cagle's.
does the gop need 2 debates per week for their field of crap?
For Pab's sake let's hope they don't go twice weekly — that will eliminate the need for all other comedy.
If you're angry that the politics lately has been anti-Republican, you might enjoy the rest of this week. Just sayin'.
If not, take care.
And for everyone else, I'm still short (by about 30 orders) or going to print on "Unamused Birds." Pre-orders for the sixth NAOQV book continue at http://bit.ly/pffTJm
And what will be the big topic of debate this time: Reddi-Wip vs Cool Whip? Jacob vs Edward? Playboy vs Hustler?
i really want Unamused birds, real housewives of windsor and suffragettes gone wild. had them in my cart, then found out they only take paypal. if there is another way let me know!
Somehow "la riata" comes to mind.
I am still waiting for change I can believe in.
I will buy books if I can do it w/o Paypal.
Why do folks resist Paypal? I love using it for sites I don't trust or want to give card info to. Only negative is not having 30 days grace or the protection of the card insurance. I've never had a problem with it except I could not send gifts to underage grandkids because they could not have accounts. Positive is that they keep good records of seller AND what was purchased (as I may forget some minor stuff), I don't mind that Pab is doing political- I just don't participate as they all lie!
You can. Instead of logging into Paypal, click on the link at the bottom. "Pay with your debit or credit card, or with Bill Me Later®"
My site uses Paypal as the payment gateway, but you don't need to use a Paypal account to pay. As I said before, click on "Don't have a Paypal account?"
Because if there is fraud with PayPal, you just SOL. With a credit card, your loss is limited to $50 by law, and the credit card companies will usually eat that.

Crazy costumes are as much a part of the Bay to Breakers tradition as the actual running.
You could call the San Francisco-based event the perfect mix of athleticism and exhibitionism. Blended together, the two isms make for a pretty good time—or so it seems.
The 2014 Bay to Breakers race took place on Sunday, and the winner on the women's side of the 12K race was the lovely Diane Nukuri Johnson for her second straight victory in the event.
Congratulations to Diane Johnson the first female finisher of the 103rd #BaytoBreakers! pic.twitter.com/TryuwXVHyh— Bay to Breakers (@Baytobreakers) May 18, 2014
On the men's side, the accomplished Kenyan runner Geoffrey Kenisi was the first to cross the finish line.
Congratulations to Geoffrey Kenisi for winning the 103rd #BaytoBreakers! pic.twitter.com/qn65fmx3Ff— Bay to Breakers (@Baytobreakers) May 18, 2014
Now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about the bizarre and fun outfits.
Animal Lovers
Software developer Steve Streza captured this image.
Here's my photos from this year's #BayToBreakers. https://t.co/rmCuVHFVUR pic.twitter.com/ieiUMom12D— Steve Streza (@SteveStreza) May 18, 2014
Perhaps the man in the horse's head was inspired by California Chrome's recent success at the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes.
In any case, I suppose the head is the end of a horse one would rather impersonate.
Cats and dogs can obviously live in harmony. Or maybe they just run together. What exactly is going on in this image from Forbes' Kashmir Hill?
This is SF today. #BayToBreakers pic.twitter.com/rR3KALKL5M— Kashmir Hill (@kashhill) May 18, 2014
Did these guys take images of their cat and dog and have them airbrushed on a runner's one-piece?
Give them credit for coordinating. It takes teamwork to make the dream work.
For Kids?
Check out this image from Danielle Paquette of the Washington Post.
My tweet contribution to #BayToBreakers is this touching pic from @K_P_OBrien: pic.twitter.com/v2gM2NjxwX— Danielle Paquette (@DPAQreport) May 18, 2014
What's worse? That three people and a dog are dressed as fictional characters from children's programs, or that the dog doesn't appear to be afraid of the humans?
It probably means this type of dress-up is normal. That's fun and a little scary all at the same time.
If you look at the picture, you'll probably smile at first. But don't stare at Ernie's face too long, it'll give you nightmares.
This image from Cathy Gellis, seems like imagery from a San Francisco-flavored joke. It starts off like this: "So I was riding Muni today, and all of a sudden, a Teletubby got on." You can fill in your own punchline from here.
Sharks, tutus, Tarzans, and Teletubbies. Just a typical day on @sfmta_muni. #baytobreakers pic.twitter.com/6bXhcI5a3G— Cathy Gellis (@CathyGellis) May 18, 2014
Cool... But Hot
The guy in this tweet from Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle gets props for a cool Indiana Jones costume, but he had to be burning up running 7.5 miles in this getup.
He was probably 300 pounds before the race began.
Salute to guy who ran 7.5 miles in Indiana Jones costume. Boots, no running shoes. #BayToBreakers #ItBelongsInAMuseum pic.twitter.com/QGDDITzXuA— Peter Hartlaub (@peterhartlaub) May 18, 2014
He doesn't even have on running shoes.
Perhaps if I knew what the concept was for this group effort, I could appreciate it more. Also, where does the chicken fit in?
And then this happened. #BayToBreakers #SFO 60 thousand crazy people & these guys. pic.twitter.com/9RFDA1YQ5l— Kathleen Smith (@KikkiPlanet) May 18, 2014
The tweet comes from Kathleen Smith of Kikki Planet, but it appears as if the theme of these guys' Bay to Breakers costume is indeed out of this world.
Whatever works for you.

McIlroy ripped off four straight birdies on the back side and closed with another at the 18th hole, shooting a five-under 66 at Valhalla that left him one shot off the lead Thursday.

Oman is the world's oldest independent Arab state in the Middle East. With a history that dates all the way back to 1651. Oman is a varied country, home to fascinating cities, stunning beaches, charming towns, and a staggeringly rich culture, making it an excellent destination for visitors. Despite the obvious appeals of visiting Oman, the country remains surprisingly low key on the international tourist front – though that could change very soon. Though Oman has been something of a secret gem for several years, the numbers are starting to catch up with its potential, growing steadily year on year. The world's leading travel experts have also been publicly promoting Oman; Lonely Planet recently awarded capital city Muscat one of the top ten cities to visit in the world, while travel website Skift voted it the best travel destination of 2015.
"I love Seawings! I have tried the World Islands Tour and it was a WOW experience. We took a boat to one of the islands in the middle of nowhere and then the seaplane came to pick us up for a 40 minutes flight. It was amazing seeing Dubai from above and understanding all about the palm island, how and when it was built."
– Paulinhag, Frankfurt, Germany
I have been to UAE 3 times and this is the first time I have taken a Seawings flight and completed the Heritage Tour. Both experiences gave us a far deeper insight into the countries and the culture.
The flight is spectacular. Flying along the coastline and around many of the dramatic features of this land was thrilling. The flight was safe, extremely well organised with clear instructions, great information along the way and the service could not have been more friendly and helpful. I would say this Seawings flight is a must for anyone who wants to get a good perspective on the country very quickly.
The Heritage tour around was extremely informative and gave us a far better understanding of the history and the awesome achievements this country has made over the last 10 years since we were last here. The museums and old houses were professionally and imaginatively done. But the highlight for us was Nini who was our tour guide. She is probably the best guide we have ever had. Knowledgeable, attentive, caring and enthusiastic about what she does.
So, as you can proabley tell, we couldn't recommend Seawings and the Heritage Tour highly enough. Thank you. A real treat we shall remember and recommend for many years to come.
– Simon W, Bath, United Kingdom
"Given the fact that Dubai is currently the best place to travel because of it's fast growing city. But, seeing it from the sky? Dubai views are stunning! Simply amazing and very much different. Me, along with my friends had an amazing 40 minutes Seaplane flight which took off from the water and we had a wide individual window seats. We got an amazing pictures after the flight. Ive got the Co-pilot seat which adds more excitement to our flight! It's a fun fun fun and we will surely recommend. A 100% lifetime experience that we'll keep in mind."
– Miles_Away_acl, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
"This trip is a fantastic way to see the sights of Dubai. It is the only way to appreciate the palm and world islands.
It is not cheap but the experience is worth it.
It really does not matter which side of the plane you sit on as the pilot ensures that everyone sees the sights.
It says check in 45 minutes before but there was a bit of waiting around after check in. 20 minutes before would have been fine.
If you want to get a souvenir of the trip be prepared to spend over the odds for it."
– Iain G, Billingshurst, United Kingdom
"Excellent, the only word to describe tour. Excellent value, personal (2to1) escorted tour with NINI.Who could not have been more helpful with excellent knowledge & at a pace to suit us . Will certainly be using this company again if & when we revisit."
– HighbridgeMalcy, Highbridge
We had an absolutely amazing time with the Sea Wings. We are family of 4 with 1 child and 1 infant.
Special thanks to Ms. Claudia for making this trip an extraordinary experience for us. The driver who picked us from the hotel was very friendly and he was right on time. The Canadian pilot was also very friendly and briefed us well about the route and safety before the flight. The flight was good but a bit turbulent though.
Bird's eye view of Dubai skyscrapers was amazing, specially Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeria.
We booked the plane from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and all the pick and drops from the hotel in Dubai to Creek Club and hotel in Abu Dhabi was well arranged by Ms. Claudia. Even our return transfer to Dubai was arranged by them as per our convenience.
A must try for all visiting Dubai, once in a life time experience … It's expensive but worth every penny spent …

Whoever controls the air, controls the battlefield.
Team MUTT. Putting brains in the air so you don't have to.
Flying MUTTS – FMUTTS.
Field teams are harvesters, so all those drones means a grime number of caught mutants.
Big mutts with big guns in big groups
Things are not looking good for our troops
They've got resources large
And whoever's in charge
Has been "harvesting" brains in big scoops!
Unless Topsiders put in their own
Or grow brains in a new-fangled clone
Otherwise, they need 'Towners
And other hid "downers"
These are more things that just aren't known

"a grime number"
Yeah, that's pretty dirty of the Topsiders.
I'm guessing a good portion of the MUTT drones used to be Albion residents.
Let's just hope the Dittos can cover up a vehicle's heat signature.
How well can those drones be controlled? I mean, you wouldn't want them to go feral.
In some twisted way it's like an empty Pepperland and they are the Apple Bonkers!
It's like that dreadful flock swooping around Weathertop.. but with explosives.
That is, if both sides want a battle…
Okay, I'm going back to my old discussion from a few weeks ago… They've had time to make giant hordes of mechanized, flying death robots powered by mutant brains… and they still don't know how people mutate into different things? SHENANIGANS!!!
Endtown should be golden then…with all those beans.
maybe other colonies too with the satelite they may have found more
I'm pretty certain that the Topsider leadership knows about anthro mutation. If nothing else, their interrogation of Flask probably started with a variation of the truth serum Endtown security used on Al and Gustine. The question is whether they would share this information with the rank and file. I'm doubting they would and it may be forbidden for everyday Topsiders to even discuss mutation. Thus our two wannabe anthros have no idea how its done.

Robot Submarine Wins with Debian
A robotic submarine driven by Debian has won first place in the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) competition run at a U.S. Naval facility. The Debian project lauds the participating undergrads from Cornell University.
The Cornell Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Team (CUAUV) consists of 35 students at Cornell University who gained recognition at the August 2009 AUSVI conference with their robotic submarine named Nova. The conference competition, now in its 12th year, requires entries to complete tasks through a rigorous underwater obstacle course without human intervention. The U.S. Navy provided the large acoustic testing pool. Among other things, the submarine needed to pass through a gate, ram a submerged buoy and fire a torpedo. The Cornell team was the only one among the 30 entries to complete the course, the last time being a team from MIT in 2002.
Benjamin Seidenberg, software team leader at CUAUV is full of praise for Debian: "Not only do we use it on the vehicle, we also run it on the computers in our lab and our servers, and use it to develop our custom electronics." The team reported using further open source software on the submarine, including OpenCV for image processing and Libdc1394 as an interface for its Firewire camera.

Running WindowsI was at the competition, and one of the teams was running around at the last minute looking for a WinXP cd so they could re-install the OS on their submarine. I felt a bit sorry for them, but our team (Virginia Tech) runs Ubuntu almost exclusively so I couldn't really help. I'd say most of the teams were running Linux of some sort on their AUVs. You might joke about a submarine running Windows crashing, but it did actually happen. For the record, our submarine (running Ubuntu) never had OS problems.
SubmarineCan you imagine running that thing on Windows ? Go down 20' and have to reboot...

Gary Allan on new songs, vocal surgery
When I talked to Gary Allan earlier this week, we covered more ground than was able to fit in the full feature that appears here on Tap Milwaukee. Here is more of the conversation we shared as he waited to make a Monday night appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." (Click here to watch his spot on the show.)
As Allan prepares to visit The Rave tonight, he discussed why he thought "Tough Goodbye," the lead song (co-written by Cedarburg native Josh Thompson) from his Billboard chart-topping new album, "Set You Free," would be the first single. He also talked about how a vocal cord operation that he underwent just before recording the album has made him feel like a whole new singer, and his approach to Nashville after spending his early years (starting at 12 years old) playing honky tonks and clubs in California's Bakersfield-inspired country music scene. »Read Full Blog Post

Just wanted to chime in here, though I haven't read through all of the posts before me (yet).
I currently live in Vermont (moving to NH tomorrow, however), and I think everyone reading this should have a look at this page while the figures are a bit dated, its points are still valid.
Basically, in VT there are no gun laws. We have what is called "preemption" at the state level, which prohibits individual towns and municipalities within the state from implementing local gun control laws. Only federal firearm laws apply within VT.
In VT, one can carry a gun concealed or otherwise, and no permit is required (you don't even need to be a resident of VT, just within its borders).
In 1997 VT had the 49th lowest crime rate and 47th lowest murder rate of the 50 states.
I have personally walked around in my area (Brattleboro) at all different hours of the day and night, and never felt unsafe.
Here, as opposed to, say, D.C., its less likely that I'd be randomly attacked on the street or have my residence invaded since as far as criminals are aware, I may have a weapon on my person or in my home.
Crime and violence will always exist, probably because it is some twisted part of human nature. Free society will never be perfect, as a whole, any more than it can be perfectly safe, in part. It is unrealistic (I'd even go so far as to say dangerous) to believe otherwise. Society ought to be armed in its own defense.
For me, the issue is a person's right to self-defense and the right to use the available tools to that end. People have, and always will have access to guns one way or the other. All people have the potential to become criminals. Some people already are criminals. So, society is made up of people, some of whom are or are potentially criminals that may be armed regardless of the law. As such, it is unreasonable to deny a segment of society (in this case, law-abiding citizens) the right to similarly arm themselves in their own defense.
There is much more to say, but I'm going to stop now before this gets long winded...

Attuma a 'Worthy' barbarian of the deep in 'Fear Itself'
When it comes to sea monsters, Nessie and the Kraken have nothing on the barbaric Attuma.
The big, bad, blue-skinned supervillain is the star of the latest issue of the Fear Itself: The Worthy digital series, available Tuesday for free download on the Marvel Comics app for iPhone and iPad, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited and Marvel Comics on Chrome.
Every Monday, USA TODAY gives you an exclusive look at that week's Worthy character and issue, this week by writer Tom DeFalco and artist Mario Alberti.
Who he is: Attuma was already a formidable foe before he was transformed into a powerhouse thanks to picking up one of the Serpent's mystical hammers in Fear Itself. An Atlantean warlord and longtime enemy of Namor the Sub-Mariner, Attuma has always believed himself to be the prophesized conqueror of Atlantis, yet no matter whom he has allied himself with over the years, he has always been stopped. Now, that may change as he's part of the Worthy army and is laying waste to the worlds under the sea and on the surface.
Vicious intent: Attuma has always been one of the more savage super-villains in the Marvel Universe, DeFalco says, but we've never known why. "I wanted to find out what sparked this savagery in the first place and what continues to motivate him. I got a real chance to see beyond man within the barbarian. A prophecy almost destroyed his race and led to a life of torture for him. Having lost so much because of this prophecy, Attuma now is willing to risk everything to accomplish it."
An event staple: Fans have seen Attuma in other major crossover events such as Atlantis Attacks and The Evolutionary War, so he's the perfect villain for something as large a scale as Fear Itself. Attuma is a powerful adversary who has never considered retreat or defeat an option," DeFalco says. "He is always fighting to the death and will never stop — no matter what you throw at him!"
Why he's Worthy: "Attuma is a character that doesn't really have a deep history, but is such a great visual. So much of the world is water, it made sense that really there should have been like three Worthy that were solely involved with underwater activities," Fear Itself writer Matt Fraction says, laughing. "I wanted a sea monster. There's a sequence in Fear Itself 4 where a kid is fishing, and there's a blue tide of dead Atlanteans who start washing up on shore, one after the next after the next. We cut to Attuma just in a rampaging murder spree, like a human shark underwater. I wanted the idea of something monstrous happening on 80% of the world that we can't see, but trust me, it's down there and you should be very afraid of it. And it makes the hair on the back of my neck go up."
From the editor's desk: "Attuma is a barbarian in the classic sense, a sort of undersea Genghis Khan," says Tom Brevoort, editor on Fear Itself. "But his newfound divinity dispenses with the need for an army or followers or just about anything. It boils him down to his essence, which is an unstoppable killing machine of the ocean depths who subsists on the fear of his enemies — or those who just happen to cross his path."

Opening Night Party. Free meatballs! Open bar! Uh oh.
Think I'll just skip Crystal Castles and sleep those balls and beers off. There's a Helio Sequence laser light show tomorrow. Gotta be fresh. Lasers!
I briefly consider hunting for something mushroomy to help Helio Sequence's set go down nice and easy, but Built to Spill is playing the majestic Moore Theatre a couple hours before the Helio boys trip the light fantastic at the nearby Pacific Science Center, and I'm a wee bit freaked by the idea of hearing "Randy Described Eternity" in a radically altered state. Also: I don't do drugs.
So I opt for the kind of clarity one finds at the bottom of a beer and settle in for Martsch and his men, anticipating either a blown mind or a bored brain. It's been eleven years since I last saw Built to Spill; the recent albums haven't done much for me; I'm nervous. But I'm also excited: I've been listening to "Car" on repeat all day, so Martsch's former brilliance is fresh in my mind.
The jammy slog of an opening song confirms my worst fears--Built to Spill is now Built to Phish--but the seventy minutes following that slow start needle and nudge every sweet spot I still have left in my decrepit form.
Through a career-spanning set wisely weighted with songs from the late nineties, Built to Spill calmly and convincingly argues its case. Granted, Martsch offers little in the way of engaging banter, bass player Brett Nelson seems to have just emerged from a not altogether restful coma and the kindest thing one can say about the other three dudes' stage presence is that they do not fall asleep. But! Songs like "Distopian Dream Girl" and "In the Morning" and "I Would Hurt a Fly" are definitive blasts of bittersweetness for folks of a certain age, and as a reluctant member of that particular graying group, I am simply tickled to see and hear those songs being conjured by men who look like high school art teachers, and the fact that Martsch's angelic voice is now emerging from a visage that is startlingly similar to Nicholson Baker's leonine mug only makes the plaintive tunes that much more affecting and haunting.
We're all getting old, but Built to Spill's still got it, and this knowledge finds me exiting the Moore heartened, warmed, ready for whatever this Helio Sequence laser light show has in store. Having recently experienced the disappointingly janky Laser Queen thing at OMSI, I must say I'm expecting something similar from this one-off spectacular: a ceiling lit up with a slighty spiffier version of a raver's neon wand. I predict very bright boredom, basically.
My prediction: so goddamn off-base it's not even funny. Actually, it is funny--really funny, in fact--because although I am not even the slightest bit high on goofballs or mushrooms or pot brownies or whatever it is I'm assuming the packed house dosed itself with before I arrived, Helio Sequence's Main Street Electrical Parade has delivered me to the doorstep of trippy transcendence, that threshold where everything is sublime and hilarious and moving, and the only right response is letting the giggle in your little head grow, divide, multiply.
Half of the crowd scored seats, while the rest of us lie on the carpet in a post-orgy heap of splayed and scrunched limbs. I bother to look at Brandon and Benjamin just two or three times during Helio Sequence's set, and then only to confirm that I have not in fact blasted off into another dimension. They are our anchors, and fine ones they turn out to be. I am not a big enough fan to tick off song titles here, but I'm familiar enough with the band's catalogue to confirm that the best songs from it are being trotted out tonight, and the dome's acoustics render what I've always considered to be an overly polished sound into something heavy and mean and LOUD. This is the Helio Sequence I've always wanted: pretty as well as intense, spacey with a tinge of borderline violence.
And those lights! OMSI would hang it's big dumb dome-shaped head in shame if it peeped the Pacific Science Center's brilliant display. Infinite spirals spin out and in as blossoming bursts enliven peripheral vision; the concave ceiling gives birth to a sky of brilliant stars; geometry gets bent, broken, screwed; rectilinear forms collapse into new ways of being and seeing; a wash of red narrows to a point before blinking out like an old tube TV.
It is so totally radical. I'm hooked. Someone--I'm looking at you, OMSI--needs to make this a regular thing down in Portland. Imagine a Thermals laser light show! Actually, don't imagine that. Your head will explode.
Rose Windows floors me with its psych-rock dirges. Mudhoneyâs âTouch Me Iâm Sickâ turns me into a true-blue Seattleite. Whalebones scratches my hard-to-find classic rock itch. And Male Bonding brings its wonderful new album to screaming, fuzzed-out life (hearing âBonesâ live might actually be my festival highlight, song-wise). This is all wonderful stuff. But my night is lacking lasers. Iâve seen the other side. I like the other side. The other side feels like a Gaspar Noe credit sequence. The other side feels like drugs, only without the drugs. I think Iâve been ruined. Thanks a lot, stupid lasers. Thanks a lot, Helio Sequence.
