Holed Up In New Hampshire, Or Close Enough
9/22/2013 – Michigan 24, UConn 21 – 4-0
Detroit News
I watched the UConn game with two diehards who happen to be in town from out of state. I'd spent large chunks of the past decade trying to get one of these guys to come over to watch Michigan games for the same reason he refused to do so: he experienced games on television as an emotional trial to be bested. I'm the same way, but talk only goes so far.
So there's four of us in the room when Devin Gardner takes off up the middle for a sixteen-yard touchdown on third and eleven. Michigan's up seven midway through the first quarter. No one does anything. There's no whooping or even a slight fist pump or a clap. We just stare at the television, internally relieved but marshaling our strength for the road ahead like international meth kingpins on the lamb.
It takes a special kind of paranoia to be petrified about a game like that against a team like that, but it was redeemed in full. The recent history of Michigan football* lends itself towards nuanced discussion of this particular vintage of terror, and this one was spicy and piquant with notes of Denard Robinson's role in 2009 Iowa and 2002 Utah, which ended 10-7 despite the Utah offense scraping together only 200 yards of total offense. The nose was full-bodied, redolent of 2010 Iowa, and 2010 Michigan State, and the first three quarters of 2011 Notre Dame.
The aftertaste was like filling your mouth with iron shavings and walking into a strong magnetic field.
One of the worst things from the worst things column last week was the familiarity of all this: struggles against mediocre competition that throw a wet blanket on your season after Michigan beats Notre Dame and gets all hyped up about it. To that you can add an even darker familiarity now, one that you may have been reminded of when ABC flipped to the end of the Texas-Kansas State game just in time to see Greg Robinson do a little dance of joy.
What is Michigan doing on offense? I don't know. They come in saying they're going to manball it up; they are largely prevented from doing so by Denard Robinson. They do dump the stretch play that had been Michigan's primary way of gaining yards on the ground for five years, when they have David Molk and Patrick Omameh and Michael Schofield on the interior of the line.
Denard's gone, as are Molk and Omameh; Schofield's at right tackle, a spot that's generally less important than those guard spots on stretch plays. So of course now is the moment when Michigan turns to the stretch as their base. They suck at that, unsurprisingly. They haven't run more than five stretch plays per year since Rodriguez left.
You could see the confusion last week, when guys were leaving first level defenders with easy paths to the backfield. Those plays against Akron were shockingly bad. You have a guy between yourself and the center, you deal with him before moving to the second level. Otherwise you die. Whether the issue there was the call or the execution, the underlying symptom is the same one that plagued Michigan's defense during the Rodriguez era: never settling on who you are and being terrible at everything as a natural consequence.
I mean, how insane is it that after two years with an offensive line entirely recruited to run the stretch they install it once Kyle Kalis is the right guard?
This is the second straight year Michigan has one of the worst running games in the country papered over by the fact that its quarterback can scoot for 40 yards without breaking a sweat. Toussaint can't see what's in front of his face sometimes. Neither can the line. While Toussaint showed his ability in open space on his touchdown, Michigan found itself behind the chains far too often against a defense that had just been ripped apart by Maryland. Michigan is looking up at North Texas, Tulane, and Florida Atlantic in TFLs allowed after four games. Michigan is 118th(!!!) of 123 qualifying teams in tackles for loss allowed.
Michigan lacks an identity, and once in a while they come out doing something completely different and disastrous (3-3-5 against Purdue; under center against Iowa). In this one, Gardner's inability to throw straight makes it impossible to judge the playcalling, but more ominous than the already-plenty-ominous dropoff of Michigan's quarterback is the persistent clown show on the offensive line. Any idea that the problems may have been fluky is now gone. This is Michigan, still: looking at the quarterback as the cause of and solution to all problems.
*[For a handy one-sentence review, let's go to the Hoover Street Rag:
Michigan is ALWAYS going to get an opponent's best shot, because if you beat Michigan, your name gets etched in history, next to the Appalachian States, next to the Toledos.
I am not sure if that is meant with ironic lilt or not. This is Michigan, fergodsakes?]
Also here is the bizarre Eminem-flavored opener.
Brady Hoke Epic Double Point Of The Week. The only truly good things that happened in this game happened on defense and there was one incredibly critical play that turned the game around. You know what it is already; you know it's about to be featured in the double fist pump, you know that Desmond Morgan is the man who made the play.
Honorable mention: Frank Clark, for sacking people frequently. Blake Countess, for seeming to be good at coverage. Fitzgerald Toussaint, for busting a much needed 35-yard touchdown en route to a 100 yard game that means I no longer have to predict 100 yard games for Fitzgerald Toussaint every week in the game preview.
Epic Double Point Standings.
1.0: Devin Gardner (ND), Jeremy Gallon (ND), Desmond Morgan(UConn)
0.5: Cam Gordon (CMU), Brennen Beyer (CMU)
Brady Hoke Epic Double Fist-Pump Of The Week. Michigan had just failed to convert a fourth and two, looked virtually incapable of driving the field against UConn, and trailed by seven points in the fourth quarter. UConn dropped to pass; Desmond Morgan dropped into a seam route, leap, speared the ball, and returned it to the UConn eleven yard line. One play later it was tied. Huzzah, Desmond Morgan.
Honorable mention: Frank Clark crushes UConn's inept right tackle for a critical sack on UConn's final drive. Gardner actually pitches on a speed option this time.
Epic Double Fist-Pumps Past.
8/31/2013: Dymonte Thomas introduces himself by blocking a punt.
9/7/2013: Jeremy Gallon spins through four Notre Dame defenders for a 61-yard touchdown.
9/14/2013: Michigan does not lose to Akron. Thanks, Thomas Gordon.
9/21/2013: Desmond Morgan's leaping one-handed spear INT saves Michigan's bacon against UConn.

Upon Further Review 2013: Offense vs Akron
FORMATION NOTES: Discontent with trying to file plays on which a tight end motio`ns inside of the tackle box but does not line up as a pure fullback as either "ace" or "I-Form," I've created new lingo. This is "Ace H":
Welcome it. It will be your good friend for a long time.
As the coaches mentioned, Akron spent much of the day in bear fronts. That means they folded linebackers inside of their ends at the LOS like so:
I noted this as 6-2 bear. When only one Akron player was folded inside it was 5-3 bear. (On almost all plausible run snaps Akron showed an eight-man front.)
PERSONNEL NOTES: OL was the usual, with Magnuson making his regular goal-line cameo. AJ Williams didn't play and Funchess went out late, paving the way for a lot of Jake Butt and the debut of Jordan Paskorz, runnin' routes with a broken hand.
Green got two snaps, I think, and Justice Hayes was briefly featured as a second back in a shotgun 2-back formation; all he did was pass block. Wideouts were as usual. If you squint maybe you can perceive Chesson getting more time than he has in the past.
Oh: again there was a small Norfleet package. Hopefully as the season goes along "Norfleet is on the field" starts being less than 90% "Norfleet is getting the ball."

This Week's Obsession: Dual Threat
The weekly roundtable wonders about this whole "let's not get another Gardner" plan (that isn't the plan). Our depth chart:
|What, my Henson-ian athleticism isn't good enough for ya? [Upchurch]
- Brian Cook: Field General!
- Seth Fisher: Legit 4.4 Speed!
- Ace Anbender: Top Recruiter!
- Heiko Yang: Huge Arm!
- Blue in South Bend: Super Accurate!
- Coach Brown: Reads Defenses!
- Mathlete: Academic All-American!
This one comes from the mailbag, a guy appropriately named "Dual Threat." If you notice a whole lot of positivity in it, it's because it was sent before last Saturday. I'll posit his question as he sent it:
My point of view is we should be recruiting more dual threat-ers. While Morris and Speight are no doubt going to be good pocket passers, leaving the running aspect of the position off the table leaves a huge hole in the offensive arsenal going forward.
I feel dual threat QBs are going to be the future of dominant college football programs going forward (I see Alabama as a current exception, not the norm in the future). Would you not sacrifice a bit of QB passing ability for a chunk of QB running ability to open up that attack dimension? Wouldn't you be foolish not to? Thoughts?
Brian: It's clear that all things being equal, Michigan's going to prefer advanced passers to guys who can glide for 35 yards without looking like they're moving particularly fast. And that's a little bit of a bummer to me, since a guy who can make people pay with his legs opens up many more possibilities in your offense.
What remains to be seen is whether Michigan is going to completely eschew athletic types that need some molding. Would they go the Charlie Weis route and recruit Terrelle Pryor as a wide receiver? I have nothing to base this on but I don't think so. If there's a Gardner or Pryor in the area, Michigan will probably go after them as hard as they would Morris.

After securing my copy of the Akron game, which somehow didn't instantaneously melt my hard drive, I solicited GIF requests on Twitter. A sampling of your responses:
There were also requests for kittens, corgis, Henrik Zetterberg, and a Men In Black-style memory erase. This quickly devolved into people sending me GIFs of adorable animals. I may have requested this, too.

Akron Postgame Presser: Players
Taylor Lewan and Devin Gardner
As leaders of this team, what was your message to your teammates after this game?
Lewan: "It was embarrassing. Gotta give it to Akron. They played a hard-fought game. We didn't prepare. This is on the seniors, this is on the leadership of this team, and extremely poor, poor leadership. Especially on my side. Being the one offensive captain on this team, I put that offensive performance on myself. Devin [Gardner] didn't have enough time to throw. Our running backs didn't have enough holes, and that's my fault. That's my fault."
Gardner: "I mean, he pretty much said it all. I talked to Tom Brady and he talked about being the best quarterback for the team, every time out in practice and in the game. I was not the best quarterback for the team today. Like [Lewan] said, it's embarrassing, and we're going to respond. We won the football game, and we're going to respond, I can guarantee you that."
Michigan 28, Akron 24
This afternoon in front of a late-arriving, non-sellout crowd at the Big House, Michigan faced off against an Akron team that went 1-11, 1-11, and 1-11 in the last three seasons, started the year with a 38-7 loss to UCF, spent last weekend getting outgained and nearly outscored by FCS James Madison, and is considered the worst team in the FBS. This was a game to work out the kinks in the playbook, get in some good reps for the backups, and give a good show for the fans who probably paid $5 for a ticket from their friend who likes to sleep in on Saturdays.
At first, it looked like all would go as expected; Michigan forced an Akron punt on their opening drive, and after Fitz Toussaint rushed for a two-yard loss, Devin Gardner completed five consecutive passes, capped by a 48-yard toss to Devin Funchess, who outran the entire Akron secondary en route to the end zone.
Concern started to grow when Michigan's next drive netted zero yards. The first quarter ended with the score at 7-3, Wolverines; surely, Michigan would pull away any time now.
Then Brendan Gibbons missed a 45-yard field goal to start the second quarter, snapping his streak of 16 consecutive makes. After the defense forced a three-and-out, the Wolverines drove deep into Zips territory, only for Devin Gardner to fumble away the possession on a speed option—a play in which Fitz Toussaint had a clear touchdown if Gardner would've pitched. The defense again picked up the offense, as Blake Countess intercepted a Kyle Pohl pass and returned it all the way to the Akron 20-yard line. Any time now...
Three plays later, Gardner forced a pass into coverage that Akron's DeAndre Scott intercepted easily. The Zips were able to mount a plodding drive that oozed into Michigan territory; after taking a delay of game on fourth-and-one, however, Robert Stein's 45-yard field goal clanged off the left upright. Any time now...
Two plays later, Gardner threw the ball to a well-covered Jeremy Gallon; Akron's Justin March came away with the interception. Luckily for Michigan, only 29 seconds remained on the clock. Stein's 55-yard attempt with 0:05 left in the half went wide left, and the Wolverines were happy to kneel out the clock and regroup at halftime. Any time now...
The second half began inauspiciously, with the Wolverines gaining just one yard on three plays before a Matt Wile punt. Akron's ensuing possession went 75 yards in eight plays, ending in a 28-yard touchdown from Pohl to a wide-open Zach D'Orazio, who went unmolested up the seam as the linebackers failed to get depth on their drops and the safeties couldn't close the gap. Akron 10, Michigan 7. ANY TIME NOW...
Devin Gardner bounced back from his turnovers and gave U-M fans a brief respite from PANIC on the next possession, scoring on a 36-yard inverted veer keeper—for seemingly the first time all day, Michigan got great blocking up front, and Jeremy Jackson guaranteed the score by wiping out three Akron defenders downfield. The defense held up their end, too, forcing another three-and-out, and the Wolverines took a 21-10 lead when Jehu Chesson took his first career reception on a crossing route, broke through a few (poor) tackling attempts by the Akron secondary, and jetted into the corner of the end zone. After Michigan came up with another stop, disaster averted, right?
Wrong. Two plays into the fourth quarter, Al Borges tried to set up a screen pass on third-and-9. Facing heavy pressure, Gardner sidearmed a horribly ill-advised throw directly into the arms of Justin March; as noted earlier, March plays for Akron. He waltzed 27 yards untouched into the end zone. ANY TIME NOW...
Michigan's next drive went nowhere, and Wile didn't help matters by booting a 35-yard punt—not even among his two worst on the day—to set up the Zips on their own 39. A 43-yard pass from Pohl to L.T. Smith set up Akron at the Michigan seven. The Wolverines caught a huge break two plays later, when Pohl threw a play-action pass right to Jarrod Wilson (above, Upchurch). Wilson smartly took a knee in the end zone, giving Michigan the ball on the 20. Time to run out the clock, yes?
Well, not quite. Fitz Toussaint started the drive with a 16-yard run, but his two ensuing carries netted a lone yard. After Gardner's third-down pass to Gallon came up just short of the sticks, Wile shanked a 22-yard punt. The Zips went on an 11-play march down the field, and after getting stuffed twice at the goal line, scored the go-ahead touchdown when they spread the field—Pohl rolled right and found receiver Tyrell Goodman all alone. 24-21, Akron. 4:10 left on the clock. Full-blown PANIC.
Gardner went back to what he'd done best all game, run the football, taking off for a 35-yard gain to move Michigan into Akron territory on the next possession. He found Gallon on the sideline for a 20-yard gain on the very next play, and Michigan got another first down when Gardner's throw to Jake Butt in the end zone drew a pass interference call. Toussaint found a big hole on the left side of the line and took advantage for a two-yard touchdown on the next play. 28-24, Michigan. 2:49 left. Now was the time, yes?
Well, kinda. First, Pohl found Jerrod Dillard for a 24-yard gain, and the Zips moved into Michigan territory two plays later when Blake Countess jumped offsides on a blitz. A 19-yard run by Conor Hundley on third-and-five gave the Zips a first down at the Michigan 27. Despite a holding call moving them back ten yards, Akron kept pushing downfield, with Pohl finding Smith all alone at the 11-yard line after escaping the pocket. Another pass to Smith gave Akron a third-and-one on the Michigan two as the clock ticked down to 0:15. An ill-advised toss play to Jawon Chisholm moved the ball back two yards; the Zips burned their final timeout. Fourth down, five seconds left, ball on the Michigan four.
Greg Mattison dialed up a heavy blitz, and Pohl's desperation pass found only fieldturf, perhaps helped by a missed holding call in the Michigan secondary. The time had finally come, with zero seconds on the clock. Michigan 28, Akron 24, The Horror II narrowly avoided.
In the end, Michigan outgained the worst FBS team outside of Georgia State by seven yards—seven very critical yards, as it turned out. Gardner's 248 passing yards and 103 rushing yards were offset by his four turnovers, including his second pick-six in as many games. The offensive line struggled to open up holes against a very small Akron defensive front. The defense, for their part, allowed far too many passes over the middle and couldn't muster a good pass rush until the game's final play; they gave up big plays, too, as both Raymon Taylor and Jourdan Lewis were beat for big gains over the top.
"This is an embarrassment," Taylor Lewan said after the game. Even with the victory, there's no argument here.

I wonder fellow Rumblers if the plan to move Moats to the inside has been the plan all along. I know that I was perplexed on the idea of moving him inside but he really is a "tweener" for that OLB role. He isn't your traditional 3-4 OLB because he's a little "small" - for comparisons sake - Merriman is 6-4 265 while Moats is 6-2 250.
We all know that the jump from College to the NFL is a tough one - a leap that most cannot make actually. It's doubly tough if you've been playing at a smaller college like James Madison like Arthur Moats has. You don't have the better coaches and you don't play against elite competition. I think this is why he started at OLB last year even though they planned on moving him inside at some point.
More after the jump...
Moats played DE out of James Madison and the closest position to his old position in the 3-4 is the OLB. The responsibilities are similar but you're lining up as a LB. Lining up at an OLB allowed him to feel more comfortable in his role as a LB. Playing on the inside of a 3-4 you have to sift through the garbage and recognize how the play is developing. As a DE in college what did he read? - the blocker straight ahead of him - as a 3-4 OLB he now is reading Guards, Tackles and even the QB. Waiting to shift him inside makes sense because playing outside is a blend of what he was doing from what he is going to be asked to do - a natural progression if you will.
When you move inside as a 3-4 ILB there is a lot more information to process and much more garbage to sift through - moving to the ILB from an OLB when you were a DE in college might make some sense.
So what do you think Rumblers? Was that the methodology that Chan, Buddy and Edwards had with Moats from the beginning?

Old Bethpage resident Lisa Petker Mintz is showcasing her artwork at the Mills Pond House Gallery in St. James this month.
The exhibit, "Mum's the World: Mothers, Flowers and Secrets" opened on Oct. 6 and runs through Nov. 3
Mintz said the inspiration for her art came from dealing with issues living in suburbia.
"The new work their is also about Suburbia but I have found peace here in the new Borella Fields playground [in Plainview]. It is about all that is right in Suburbia, which for me, is raising my children here," she said.
The exhibit is being sponsored by the Smithtown Township Arts Council and features over 30 local artists.
On opening night, New York painter and event juror, Hilary Harkness, awarded Queens native Alice Denison first place for her work entitled "Most Sublime Universe".
Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 12-4 p.m. on weekends. The presentation will end on Nov. 3.

There was so much hoopla over the story about print news headline writing being influenced by search engine marketing techniques that I ignored all the links to those stories. I just wasn't inspired to read them.
Reason? Boring! Repetition! Yawn. This is not really exciting news for me, since I already know the importance of keywords in headlines. In fact, the hysteria over injecting keywords and keyphrases into headings, headlines, post titles, article titles, sub-headings, etc. etc. sometimes forces me into the opposite direction because it's so, well, confining and limiting.
I will put in there what makes sense. I will put into article titles and blog post titles words that contain a bit of zest as it relates to the topic – not as it might relate to search results or, sheesh, page rank, popularity or gobs of traffic. (Okay, I like the traffic stuff. I'm not a complete idiot.)
When I create a headline or post title, I much prefer writing for the "scent of information". I'm trying to emulate the thrill of beveled buttons – only with words. We know that beveled edges make people want to PUSH on the button. It's an action that often brings back something rewarding or makes you feel productive on a web site. We can do this with words too. We can make every click rewarding.
I enjoy being creative and letting my mind roam around for words it likes, rather than what algorithms like. I like the freedom of knowing I can pick words for my readers without being forced to use up my characters on words intended for robots.
Jared Spool wrote a great piece that explores further why print headlines don't convert well to the web. From Boring Headlines or Great Links?
"Like web pages, newspaper pages are often scanned. And like their web counterparts, newspaper headlines are intended to attract the reader's eyes to a particular story.
But, unlike the web, the rest of story is located next to the headline. (Snip.)
On the web, the headline is often doubling as a link. This is a duty it was never originally designed for."
He goes on to explain that headlines that are effective for print don't translate well to the web because they often lack the "scent of information" that inspires a click to read more. Inspiration just isn't that critical when the bulk of an article is placed close by and can be scanned quickly to determine if it's worthy of a whole read sitting.
On the web, its often the link that makes or breaks the decision to keep reading or not.
Once again, the relationship between search engines and people is very close, but I still vote for rallying the people. They have the credit cards.

FAV Flavored WATER WITHOUT ARTICIAL SWEETNERS???
look for Polar Seltzer - i buy it at Stop & Shop and Fairway. they have a ton of varieties, all just seltzer with flavor essence, no sugar or sweetener of any kind.
re: goodhealthgourmet
re: mcf
whoa, the Polar CANS are lined with BPA? crap, i had no idea. sigh. well, they don't even sell it out here in CA anyway, but i guess i won't be drinking it when i'm back East visiting!
out of curiosity, what's the price on the mineral water at Costco? i've never bothered to look because i don't have room for all those bottles.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Sadly, ALL cans are. I learned that here when I posted about switching to Polar cans. ALL of them except for Eden stuff, which uses some sort of alternative liner. :-(
At Costco, the largest bottles of Pellegrino (33.5 oz?) are $1.59, I think, and with a coupon occasionally more like a dollar.
re: mcf
Sadly, ALL cans are.
according to several sources online, La Croix aren't. i think. who knows? gah! i'll be looking forward to Beachaholic's report after she calls them. in the meantime i'll stick with my plain old filtered water enhanced with a splash of juice when i need some flavor.
re: goodhealthgourmet
I think there's confusion out there and a lot seems to be generated by the company or by other sources with sloppy information, which is all I found for the BPA claims, no citations, except for those claiming the company told them their cans are not BPA free. One brand of coconut water in cans is said to be BPA free, but from what I've read, carbonation always has it.
I can't wait to hear the result of the phone inquiry.
Here's an apparently actively updated listing of companies not using BPA in cans: http://inspirationgreen.com/bpa-lined...
re: mcf
I know, it's tough. I only drink water when I am truly thirsty, and should drink far more (when you're thirsty, you should have drunk water some time ago!) I am weaning myself off a bad, bad Diet Coke habit.
Perrier Lemon comes in glass bottles and has no artificial anything, but it's not sweet. It's refreshing, though. It also comes in Lime.
An option in cans that I've seen at both Target and (believe it or not) Dollar Tree is La Croix Sparkling water. I've seen berry, pink grapefruit, orange, and other flavors.
re: pinehurst
re: goodhealthgourmet
re: goodhealthgourmet
I read that all drink cans have the lining and this FB site seems to indicate that they are lined with BPA: http://www.facebook.com/LaCroix/posts...
You might want to check with the company to see if anythng has changed in the time since that post, but my understanding is that anything fizzy has a BPA coating as of a month or two ago, when I searched for something non BPA. The only place I found a claim of no BPA was on some fitness site with no citations.
re: mcf
Goodhealthgourmet will have a better answer I'm sure but according to Facebook which I do not have, the company says their can linings are BPA free?
There is a link in one of the comments on the following page, mcf
re: pinehurst
I think it's questionable, since those preggos both said the company told them they DO use BPA. and another can't get a response. Am I missing something there? I'm referring to cans, not plastics. Here's a link to where they say their product in plastic is BPA free, I believe: http://www.csnews.com/new-products-la... Oddly, the picture a can, but the text refers to plastic, which could be BPA free, but I don't want to eat or drink from it.
re: mcf
I know what you mean. I'm a real internet Luddite, but here's another site attesting BPA freedom http://www.csnews.com/new-products-la...? Dunno.
re: pinehurst
That's the site that shows a *can* as I said above, but claims that their *plastic* is what's BPA free.
The FB pages had women saying they spoke directly to the company and were told that they do not use BPA free cans.
I guess I don't think there's any way to be sure without clarifying it with the company directly.
Anyone can say anything on a web site.
re: pinehurst
We use a SodaStream fizzy water carbonator, and have 4 bottles alternating in the fridge all the time. It makes water much more special, and it's always at hand.
re: jmcarthur8
re: pinehurst
those r all options i havent tried yet......will def start a running list of new products to look out for and keep the list in my car(better chance of me remembering) Hubby wants to try the soda stream as he is a huge diet coke person...i understand thatversion of diet soda utilizes SPLENDA :(
I believe you can add a slice of frozen fruit to that seltzer as well....we have awful tap water here...and having a child with autism i am always changing filters...would love to have the under the sink filter that filters the entire house someday!
re: pinehurst
Pinehurst, I don't use their mixes, I just add little fruit juice or a squeeze of lemon or lime. They do have some all-natural mixes, now, I think. Mostly I just drink it neat.
My sons tried the root beer and the Dr. Pepper flavors and liked them.
We were going through bottles and bottles of seltzer water, now our recycle bin isn't as packed since we got the Sodastream, and we never run out of fizzy water.
re: jmcarthur8
re: mcf
We have had our Sodastream for several years. We love it and we don't have to buy bottles or cans. We keep several bottles of water in the fridge at all times. We then just carbonate it. The cartridges for about 65 bottles and ate exchangeable at many locations including Bed Bath Beyond where you can you use your 20% coupon. I drink it straight over ice or sometimes mixed with a little lemonade and cranberry juice. My husband likes it with limes. I tried the flavorings and didn't care for them. I don't like diet drinks so I would rather drink it straight.
A really good water filter? I don't know, since we got our Berkey water filter we all drink more water than ever because it tastes so good. I even use it for cooking. Sure it's not flavoring, but it's removing the awful taste so much tap water has and the machine itself is stainless steel.
Water in big glass bottles in the fridge (like the heavy glass bottles fancy milk comes in), with the addition of:
-a few cinnamon sticks or pieces of cinnamon bark (they last for months, just keep replacing the water) OR
-lots of mint leaves (they last several days at least, again just keep replacing the water) OR
The flavor will infuse in just a few hours.
We drink our juice diluted - around 1 part juice to 4 parts water - and the best juice I've ever had for this purpose is Sprouts organic Honeycrisp apple juice. It is to regular apple juice what artisan Belgian beer is to Budweiser.
I drink "greens to go". It is sweetened with stevia. It is primarily a vitamin/nutrition/suppliment type drink. Being low carb, I don't eat much fruit. I like this product because it has a lot of antioxidants found in fruit and sea veggies (which I don't like the taste of normally) minus the extra sugars.
I am low carb for fitness reasons and a trainer recommended me greens To go. 16 oz has 6g carb, with a little fiber. I tend to drink it for breakfast with eggs and as a suppliment to a meal, like you would a smoothie -instead of just another beverage. Sometimes I will just have it for lunch with some nuts if I have had a big breakfast,it is surprisingly filling.
It tastes like bananas.

Tonawanda News — TOWN OF TONAWANDA — Lina Mirabella knows tonight's East-West double header at Sheridan Park will be special. Not because it's her first, but because it's her brother John's last.
Tonight John and Lina Mirabella will be part of the annual under-the-lights event that is the highlight of the Ken-Ton spring sports season, as Kenmore East and Kenmore West will clash in both baseball (6:30 p.m.) and softball (7:00 p.m.).
While siblings playing in the Sheridan Park double header is part of this long standing tradition, what makes the Mirabella's story unique is John, a senior right fielder, will be playing baseball for Ken-East. While Lina, a freshman, will be donning the blue and white of Ken-West in softball.
It'll be yet another special night in a lifetime of always being there for each other.
"Me and my sister play street hockey, she was the goalie and I shoot at her and she lets me fire (street hockey) balls at her outside or in the basement," John Mirabella said with a smile.
Playing whiffle ball together during lazy summer days, John Mirabella said he never saw it as a situation where he was forced or told to spend time with his baby sister. It just always felt natural to be together.
"He encouraged me to play softball and hockey with him," Lina Mirabella said. "He thought it was pretty cool that he had a younger sister who was playing too."
Sharing a passion for ice hockey, Lina — who plays catcher and serves as a pinch runner for the Lady Blue Devils — was a member of the Kenmore girls team that went to the state tournament this year.
John, meanwhile, was part of the Bulldogs hockey team that captured the state championship last year.

The most eye-opening moment at Tuesday night's Little Silver town hall meeting came not when one resident said she paid about $85,000 annually for flood insurance, or when another shared with the crowd his frustrations that the amount of money given to him by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a rental was not commensurate with market values in the area. It came when about a third of the audience of about 225 residents packed into the Markham Place cafetorium raised their hands to show they had been displaced from their homes by Superstorm Sandy.
"You're all in tough spots," said Mayor Robert C. Neff, Jr. at the start of the Dec. 11 meeting that featured borough officials, Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon and representatives from FEMA, National Flood Insurance and Small Business Administration (SBA).
The two-and-a-half-hour-meeting, jam-packed with procedures and acronyms for navigating the bureaucratic maze required to rebuild storm-damaged homes, was very civil and organized to help give residents information directly from the governmental sources, according to Neff.
Steve Asdito, a representative for the National Flood Insurance, urged residents to learn as much as they could about the process and available programs. "If there's one thing you take away from tonight, know that you need to get as well-educated as you can so you can look forward and make the best decisions that you can."
When the resident struggling to find a rental property for his family of four within the FEMA allowance was told by one of the agency's representatives that that number was set by law, Neff said, "It's not always the answer we're looking for, but having an answer is better than not."
The question that seemed to be on most residents' minds was "Who needs to elevate?," followed immediately by "How high?" and most importantly, "Who's going to pay for it?"
Much hinges on the release of FEMA's much-anticipated Advisory Base Flood Elevations (ABFEs) for the state, which were supposed to be released earlier this week. This will give residents whose homes were declared severely damaged by the borough and are required to comply the definitive word on elevation heights.
At Little Silver's meeting, a National Flood Insurance representative told the audience that there's a difference between those who will be required to comply with elevating homes to the borough-recommended 13-feet above sea level, and those that want to raise their homes to avoid future flooding.
Residents whose homes were more than 50 percent damaged by the storm and designated "severely damaged" by the borough, will need to comply with elevating their homes but are eligible to apply for Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) coverage. The FEMA-funded grant helps pay for the cost of complying with state or community floodplain management laws or ordinances from a flood event.
Those who are opting to elevate can apply for a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program that could award up to $30,000 for the project.
SBA representative Gary Colton urged residents with storm-damaged homes to apply for low-interest SBA loans, regardless of whether they had flood insurance or FEMA assistance, as a means for financing rebuilding and home elevation.
Bryan Miller, who handles individual assistance for FEMA, explained to the audience, "FEMA's program is pretty basic."
While a contractor would look at missing shingles from a roof and declare the entire roof needs to be replaced, Miller said FEMA would only pay to replace the missing shingles. "It's not an insurance program. It's not supposed to bring you back to pre-disaster conditions."
The final question of the evening came a little after 10:30 from a woman who said she wanted to make "more of a plea" to the borough to keep residents informed on its Web site of the critical information needed to get back into their homes.
"A mistake could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars," she said, adding, "the stakes are very high."

Objective: Clozapine is considered to be the most efficacious drug to treat schizophrenia, although it is underutilized, partially due to a side effect of agranulocytosis. This analysis of 74 candidate genes was designed to identify an association between sequence variants and clozapine-induced agranulocytosis (CIA).
Method: Blood and medical history were collected for 33 CIA cases and 54 clozapine-treated controls enrolled between April 2002 and December 2003. Significant markers from 4 genes were then assessed in an independently collected case-control cohort (49 CIA cases, 78 controls).
Results: Sequence variants in 5 genes were found to be associated with CIA in the first cohort: HLA-DQB1, HLA-C, DRD1, NTSR1, and CSF2RB. Sequence variants in HLA-DQB1 were also found to be associated with CIA in the second cohort. After refinement analyses of sequence variants in HLA-DQB1, a single SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism), 6672G>C, was found to be associated with risk for CIA; the odds of CIA are 16.9 times greater in patients who carry this marker compared to those who do not.
Conclusions: A sequence variant (6672G>C) in HLA-DQB1 is associated with increased risk for CIA. This marker identifies a subset of patients with an exceptionally high risk of CIA, 1,175% higher than the overall clozapine-treated population under the current blood-monitoring system. Assessing risk for CIA by testing for this and other genetic variants yet to be determined may be clinically useful when deciding whether to begin or continue treatment with clozapine.

Man on the street: Secret Sarasota
Date: July 17, 2009
by: Maggie Pahos | Observer intern
Question: What is the best-kept secret in Sarasota?
Mary Houlihan
"The 17th Street Goodwill. I have bought some designer things in there — you would die."
Caroline Gallais and Tom McNally
McNally: "One of the best-kept secrets is the fact that you can walk all through Sarasota and get enough shade. There are enough roots, shade and building shadows, and we have a great walk the whole way. Contrary to what people believe here, you don't need the A/C to stay cool. You miss the great city of Sarasota if you stay in."
Gallais: "Yes, and we have a great view while we're walking, too."
Dan Brady
"All of the theaters in the community. There are so many wonderful ones to go to. You have the Asolo, the Golden Apple, the Sarasota Opera … "
Joette Muscatell, of The Gourmet Market, on Main Street
"Main Street. Come down and shop locally."
Julia Brown
"Marina Jack. I have met so many wonderful people there, and they really cheered me up. You get to pet the dogs there, too. Also, the Resurrection House for all that they do for the homeless and for the donations that they give is another best-kept secret that not many people know about."
John Malone
"In the summer it's hard to find a comfortable place on a hot day. So, if you go under the John Ringling Causeway on the east side of the bridge and sit on those benches, there is a breeze everyday. That area funnels the wind."
Wendy Getchell, owner of Lotus and Knickers, on Main Street
"All of downtown; the heart of downtown. It's the center of the arts community and you have fashionable shops — independent and national — world-class opera, professional theater, book stores, great restaurants. If you live here, you don't have to get in the car. You can do it all downtown. A lot of people who visit here think that St. Armands is all there is to Sarasota, but there's much more downtown."

The ICC Americas region launched its centenary celebrations at the Annual Beach Cricket Tournament in Chile on February 27 and Argentina hosted the 110th edition of the classic North v South match on March 6, 2009.
The Catch the Spirit celebrations are aimed at promoting the ICC's centenary, the Great Spirit of cricket and the wide appeal and diversity of the game. While the Full Members including Bangladesh, the West Indies and recently South Africa, have played their role in celebrating the ICC's centenary, the spotlight fell on Chile and Argentina to showcase the spirit of the game in their country.
The Annual Beach Cricket Tournament at Viña del Mar's Playa del Deporte on Chile's coast captured the sun, sea and sand which represents the spirit of the game in Chile. India successfully defended the title they won last year, by beating England in the final, while Australia came third beating Argentina in the play-off. It was the two Chilean teams though which provided the tournament with the excitement, illustrating the great potential for the game in South America.
The beach cricket festival was followed by the 110th Edition of the North v South three day game at the Belgrano Athletic Club, Buenos Aires. The idea for this historic fixture was born in a railway station in the far northern city of Tucuman, when the proposal was made and accepted to challenge Buenos Aires. Early in November of 1891, the cricketers of the North travelled to play the South at Palermo in Buenos Aires, and the legendary tale of this famous game had begun.
The 2009 fixture saw the South beat the North by eight wickets (North 151 and 69, South 162 and 61 for 2). The South took just ten and a half overs to knock off the 59 runs they needed to complete, in less than two days, the first outright win in this historic fixture since their 22-run victory in 2000. Billy MacDermott, with 8 for 44 and a crucial innings of 31, won the Man-of-the-Match award, with Diego Lord (7 for 38) and Gary Savage (52 not out and 26) named as Best Bowler and Best Batsman respectively. Miguel Rowe took the Spirit of Cricket Award. ICC

I share ways to grow a business as you keep your eye on the EXIT
Much debate surrounds the notion that an entrepreneur is born with innate entrepreneurial abilities. Many believe that specific genes are present in all successful entrepreneurs. In fact, a 2008 study of identical versus fraternal twins conducted by Scott Shane of Case Western Reserve University, Nicos Nicolaou of the University of Cyprus, and other researchers from the King's College in London concluded a tendency to engage in entrepreneurship was indeed genetic and heritable.
The study measured engagement in entrepreneurship in a variety of ways including self-employment, business startup, and even serial entrepreneurship. However, what the study did not measure was the correlation between genes and the ability for an entrepreneur to be successful. Yet it's been my observation that successful entrepreneurs exhibit six behaviors over and over, time and again. And it's my belief these six things are critical to their success, because when one is absent the entrepreneur can easily fall short.
Seeks the Counsel of Others
Entrepreneurs are known for following the beat of their own drum, sometimes to a fault. This tendency toward bull headedness can be very damaging and the cause for many errors in judgment. Whereas, the truly successful entrepreneurs have respect for those who have gone before them and they seek the advice and counsel of others.
Decides his Course Based on a Macro-view
Entrepreneurs have a knack for seeing the big picture before others do and taking decisive action. They don't spend a lot of time debating minutia and immersing themselves in the details. They learn enough to make a decision from many observations and move quickly.
Hires Smart People
Entrepreneurs who enjoy incredible success have a team of employees and advisors who know more and, in many cases, are more intelligent than they are. But this is an area where many otherwise successful entrepreneurs can fall short. Unfortunately, they are reluctant to compensate those around them properly. This results in substandard work teams who are more concerned about their continued employment or engagement rather than the goals before them.
Attributes Success to the Efforts of Others
Humility is a virtue and one that when present in the entrepreneur creates a work environment that is based on accountability and mutual respect. Find a business with an entrepreneur who acknowledges and celebrates the efforts of others and you will find an incredibly valuable business.
Holds a Positive Outlook
The enthusiasm brought to a business each day by the entrepreneur is the glue that holds the operation together when all is not going well. And every business has its ups and downs. Absent a positive outlook, the entrepreneur loses customers, employees, and vendors when times are tough. Recovering from such losses makes long-term success much more difficult, if not impossible.
Perseveres When Others Would Quit
Some of the best memories successful entrepreneurs share after they have sold or transferred their businesses are those related to the days when their own perseverance was all that stood between them and business failure.
This concept is easily summed up in one of my favorite quotes by our 30th President, Calvin Coolidge. It's surely the successful entrepreneur's anthem:
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
As President Coolidge observed, innate talent, intelligence, and even education will not guarantee success. And while it may be true that entrepreneurial engagement is genetic, experience tells me that entrepreneurs succeed because of their good habits which they repeat day in and day out as they grow a valuable business.

A very nice distillation of the entrepreneurial path. Three attributes I'd like to suggest adding are:
1) Intellectual honesty – the ability to introspect and question one's approach and performance, i.e. to not drink your own cool aid.
2) The ability to intently listen – to customers, team members, market signals.
3) A pursuit of excellence – not being satisfied with the ok, when the excellent is possible.

The mission or final objective , is or should be in charge of the CEO of the company , however it should (the CEO ) have an open mind, thus creating empathy , communication and dialogue (feedback) at least among the controls media company .
In this context , the creation of a brand takes time (years ) , so patience , perseverance , respect, tolerance , should be the pattern to be followed by the computer .
Team … how necessary it is ! , the CEO alone, obio , would be impossible , middle without a mission , too, and the rest of the company, alone, would be adrift …
For all this has to be , necessarily , a professional demeanor and emotional to the mission / objectives , people , values and commitment of all ( without exception ) to achieve … the " gold medal " !

I particularly like the quote from President Coolidge. That's worth printing out and remembering.
I wonder if nature/nurture studies have been on this. While it seems the study showed that the tendency to engage in entrepreneurship was genetic, I would expect that entrepreneurship would also tend to be passed from generation to generation through nurturing. Mentoring the next generation and providing strong role models would surely be an important factor to many entrepreneurs.
Hi Holly,
I totally agree with your article and I believe that persistence is the winner. I love hearing success stories because it just proves to me that if you are persistent enough you can achieve your goals.
Knowing when to get help is also key. Those two qualities together spell success to me.
Great article and thanks for sharing.

Author William Gibson discusses Victorians, John Shirley and the early days of his career. A longer version of this interview appeared in the 197th issue of Paris Review
Do you think fiction should be predictive?
No, I don't. Or not particularly. The record of futurism in science fiction is actually quite shabby, it seems to me. Used bookstores are full of visionary texts we've never heard of, usually for perfectly good reasons.
You've written that science fiction is never about the future, that it is always instead a treatment of the present.
There are dedicated futurists who feel very seriously that they are extrapolating a future history. My position is that you can't do that without having the present to stand on. Nobody can know the real future. And novels set in imaginary futures are necessarily about the moment in which they are written. As soon as a work is complete, it will begin to acquire a patina of anachronism. I know that from the moment I add the final period, the text is moving steadily forward into the real future.
There was an effort in the seventies to lose the usage science fiction and champion speculative fiction. Of course, all fiction is speculative, and all history, too—endlessly subject to revision. Particularly given all of the emerging technology today, in a hundred years the long span of human history will look fabulously different from the version we have now. If things go on the way they're going, and technology keeps emerging, we'll eventually have a near-total sorting of humanity's attic.
In my lifetime I've been able to watch completely different narratives of history emerge. The history now of what World War II was about and how it actually took place is radically different from the history I was taught in elementary school. If you read the Victorians writing about themselves, they're describing something that never existed. The Victorians didn't think of themselves as sexually repressed, and they didn't think of themselves as racist. They didn't think of themselves as colonialists. They thought of themselves as the crown of creation.
Of course, we might be Victorians, too.
The Victorians invented science fiction.
I think the popular perception that we're a lot like the Victorians is in large part correct. One way is that we're all constantly in a state of ongoing technoshock, without really being aware of it—it's just become where we live. The Victorians were the first people to experience that, and I think it made them crazy in new ways. We're still riding that wave of craziness. We've gotten so used to emergent technologies that we get anxious if we haven't had one in a while.
But if you read the accounts of people who rode steam trains for the first time, for instance, they went a little crazy. They'd traveled fifteen miles an hour, and when they were writing the accounts afterward they struggled to describe that unthinkable speed and what this linear velocity does to a perspective as you're looking forward. There was even a Victorian medical complaint called "railway spine."
Emergent technologies were irreversibly altering their landscape. Bleak House is a quintessential Victorian text, but it is also probably the best steam-punk landscape that will ever be. Dickens really nailed it, especially in those proto-Ballardian passages in which everything in nature has been damaged by heavy industry. But there were relatively few voices like Dickens then. Most people thought the progress of industry was all very exciting. Only a few were saying, Hang on, we think the birds are dying.
You wrote your first story for a class, didn't you?
A woman named Susan Wood had come to UBC as an assistant professor. We were the same age, and I met her while reconnoitering the local science-fiction culture. In my final year she was teaching a science-fiction course. I had become really lazy and thought, I won't have to read anything if I take her course. No matter what she assigns, I've read all the stuff. I'll just turn up and bullshit brilliantly, and she'll give me a mark just for doing that. But when I said, "Well, you know, we know one another. Do I really have to write you a paper for this class?" She said, "No, but I think you should write a short story and give me that instead." I think she probably saw through whatever cover I had erected over my secret plan to become a science-fiction writer.
I went ahead and did it, but it was incredibly painful. It was the hardest thing I did in my senior year, writing this little short story. She said, "That's good. You should sell it now." And I said, "No." And she said, "Yeah, you should sell it." I went and found the most obscure magazine that paid the least amount of money. It was called Unearth. I submitted it to them, and they bought it and gave me twenty-seven dollars. I felt an enormous sense of relief. At least nobody will ever see it, I thought. That was "Fragments of a Hologram Rose."
How did you meet John Shirley?
Shirley was the only one of us who was seriously punk. I'd gone to a science-fiction convention in Vancouver, and there I encountered this eccentrically dressed young man my age who seemed to be wearing prison pajamas. He was an extremely outgoing person, and he introduced himself to me: "I'm a singer in a punk band, but my day job is writing science fiction." I said, "You know, I write a little science fiction myself." And he said, "Published anything?" And I said, "Oh, not really. This one story in this utterly obscure magazine." He said, "Well, send me some of your stuff, I'll give you a critique."
As soon as he got home he sent me a draft of a short story he had written perhaps an hour beforehand: "This is my new genius short story." I read it—it was about someone who discovers there are things that live in bars, things that look like drunks and prostitutes but are actually something else—and I saw, as I thought at the time, its flaws. I sat down to write him a critique, but it would have been so much work to critique it that instead I took his story and rewrote it. It was really quick and painless. I sent it back to him, saying, "I hope this won't piss you off, but it was actually much easier for me to rewrite this than to do a critique." The next thing I get back is a note—"I sold it!" He had sold it to this hardcover horror anthology. I was like, Oh, shit. Now my name is on this weird story.
People kept doing that to me, and it's really good that they did. I'd give various friends stuff to read, and they'd say, "What are you going to do with this?" And I'd say, "Nothing, it's not nearly there yet." Then they'd Xerox it and submit it on my behalf, to places I would have been terrified to submit to. It seemed unseemly to me to force this unfinished stuff on the world at large.
Do you still consider that work unfinished?
I had a very limited tool kit when I began writing. I didn't know how to handle transitions, so I used abrupt breaks, the literary equivalent of jump cuts. I didn't have any sense of how to pace anything. But I had read and ad- mired Ballard and Burroughs, and I thought of them as very powerful effect pedals. You get to a certain place in the story and you just step on the Ballard.
What was the effect?
A more genuine kind of future shock. I wanted the reader to feel constantly somewhat disoriented and in a foreign place, because I assumed that to be the highest pleasure in reading stories set in imaginary futures. But I'd also read novels where the future-weirdness quotient overwhelmed me and simply became boring, so I tried to make sure my early fiction worked as relatively solid genre pieces. Which I still believe is harder to do. When I started Neuromancer, for instance, I wanted to have an absolutely familiar, utterly well-worn armature of pulp plot running throughout the whole thing. It's the caper plot that carries the reader through.
What do you think of Neuromancer today?
When I look at Neuromancer I see a Soap Box Derby car. I felt, writing it, like I had two-by-fours and an old bicycle wheel and I'm supposed to build something that will catch a Ferrari. This is not going to fly, I thought. But I tried to do it anyway, and I produced this garage artifact, which, amazingly, is still running to this day.
Even so, I got to the end of it, and I didn't care what it meant, I didn't even know if it made any sense as a narrative. I didn't have this huge feeling of, Wow, I just wrote a novel! I didn't think it might win an award. I just thought, Phew! Now I can figure out how to write an actual novel.

Huh. He looks like Steve Jobs in 8-bit. But I've been seeing him everywhere lately. I think I heard his voice in the reverb on a SID.
I can't think of the term for seeing Steve Jobs in everything, but the one for seeing Joi Ito in everything is clearly pareijoila
Lobster says:
futurenextlevel says:
Paris Review not Paris Match. Very different publications.
Yes indeed! Now that's an interesting brainfart this morning. Fixed.
It doesn't matter what you see in pixel art, gentlemen, the memetic grand council will not beatify him until there are at least two verified appearances of Mr. Jobs in slices of burned toast.
Ian Chisholm says:
"…just step on the Ballard." brilliant as always.
liquidstar says:
I wish he would stop the "I know how to write a novel now" thing already. Not knowing what you are doing creatively is sometimes a good place to be. Maybe I just like jump cuts and 2′ x 4′s in my science fiction I dunno.
Lobster says:
Not knowing what you are doing creatively is sometimes a good place to be. It's also sometimes a bad place to be, as anyone who has ever been in a creative writing class will tell you (possibly while insisting you read their new screenplay).
Knowing what you are doing while intentionally taking risks or doing it wrong for creative purposes is a better place to be.
liquidstar says:
I agree with "Knowing what you are doing while intentionally taking risks or doing it
wrong for creative purposes is a better place to be." wholeheartedly. I did say "sometimes", not always. However, from the interviews and such I have seen/read from Gibson I feel he is somehow selling himself short, almost as if he has a need to prove that he can write. Personally I would like to see him really cut loose fictionally; there s a lot there in his work but it seems to be wearing a Gimp suit. Don t get me wrong though, I do enjoy his works and especially his insights, though at times I feel like I'm reading Baudrillardian critique/classification of the (consumer) object.
Lobster says:
Hmm. Well, I've always subscribed to the belief that a work of art exists independent of its artist (and inversely, that if an artist needs to explain his or her art for it to be understood, it is incomplete).
If his books still work for you, just read the books and appreciate the man as an author. If you're curious about what he has to say as a person then interviews are great, but you don't need to agree with anything he says, even if it's a self-assessment.
If Gibson keeps qualifying himself like that, maybe it's not for us or for the interview. Maybe he needs to say it for himself. Just because he's one of the greats doesn't necessarily mean he goes around thinking, "I'm William F-ing Gibson and cyberpunk is what I damn well SAY it is." Especially since he's hardly alone in the field.
I guess what I'm saying (in way too many words) is not to let it get you down. :D
MrScience says:
I found the Paris Review in my local library (my wife was doing something, so I took my son to the library for a few hours). I made everyone wait while I read the entire article (new journal, so no checkout), which was quite lengthy. It was amazingly good.
Lobster says:
Not for the people sitting there waiting. ;)
MrScience says:
In fact, I took some photos of choice quotes with my cellphone while reading… here's one that I think BoingBoingers will like, on the intentionality of his Neuromancer work:
How did you come up with the title?
Coming up with a word like neuromancer is something that would earn you a really fine vacation if you worked in an ad agency. It was kind of a booby-trapped portmanteau that contained considerable potential for cognitive dissonance, that pleasurable buzz of feeling slightly unsettled.
I believed that this could be induced at a number of levels in a text – the microlevel with neologisms and portmanteaus, or using a familiar word in completely unfamiliar ways. There are a number of well known techniques for doing this…
Stuart hall says:
My personal feeling is that the soap box derby car Neuromancer was 1 part text and 7 parts the readers imagination, his newer works are 7 parts text and 1 part the readers imagination.
Lobster says:
(and one part nipples)
monkey_pirate says:
I can't be the only one who thinks the 8-bit image bears an uncanny resemblance to the S.R. Hadden character from Contact.
Stefan Jones says:
Ooooh, good call on Bleak House.
One of the many character threads is about a lord and lady. Very traditional, worried about "leveling" and such. Then the son of an industrialist take an interest in one of their servant girls. Before he marries her he wants to educate her for goodness sake, of all things.
Great, grim scenes in a factory town full of degraded gin-swilling louts.
vicx says:
Gibson looks like an observant and reflective chimp. His short stories are the best.
Genre Slur says:
The Gernsback Continuum or BUST. Hippy Hat Brian Parasite can stowaway, though…
…yet glad to see Mr. Gibson granting conversational interviews. I only hope to get him back out to Calgary for Wordfest or something.
mark zero says:
I put off reading this for a couple of days, but the universe is conspiring against me; Boing Boing issue 12 fell out of a magazine stack a few minutes ago, and what do you suppose was mentioned on the cover?

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed an ethics complaint against U.S. Senate special election Republican nominee Gabriel Gomez with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.
In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, CREW said they filed the complaint against Gomez for "failing to name his clients while working for the private equity firm Advent International."
You can read the entire complaint against Gomez here.
Gomez, a Cohasset businessman and former U.S. Navy SEAL, will face Congressman Edward Markey of Malde, Democratic nominee, in the election June 25 to fill the seat vacated by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan said in the statement that candidates must name clients that paid them more than $5,000 for services, under federal law.
"Mr. Gomez, a highly compensated private equity investor, didn't list even one," Sloan said in the statement, adding the committee should "investigate immediately to ensure Massachusetts voters have all the information to which they are entitled before they go to the polls."
The CREW statement cited Gomez's campaign website, which says the candidate "helped pension funds, endowments, and retirement systems invest for their members' retirement" and "helped grow smaller, regional businesses into national, household names – like apparel company Lululemon."
"Therefore, it seems naming specific clients raises no particular issues of confidentiality," according to the statement. "Although Mr. Gomez must have worked for specific clients in his last two years at Advent, he did not name any clients on the form he filed with the Senate."

text: Went there about 3 or 4 weeks ago, on a weekend night. It's a cool-looking place and the service was stellar...very efficient and friendly. The food was just a bit hit and miss, but mostly hit. I had the scallops, and they were probably the best-cooked scallops I've ever had, but the duck dish wasn't nearly as successful. I would also recommend the tuna poke starter. Overall, I'm anxious to go back again. From what I could tell when leaving, it seems to become a bit of a "scene" as the evening wears on.

Politicians like to talk a lot about community building; it is a surefire appeal to emotion that we are all in this together and can work toward prosperity from the ground up. Naturally, the fine print is filled with government-run programs which are bloated with extra costs, special interests, and guaranteed to fail by their structural inefficiency.
In the independent media we often discuss the need to get away from fiat money and into tangible assets like gold and silver. While essential for those who have the means to do so, fewer and fewer people have the ability to buy even a few ounces of gold, since the savings account of the average American stands at around $3,800.
You might be amazed that the price of one ounce of gold can put you well on your way to food independence, or even help create a small business. So, let's take a quick look at some practical solutions that can empower individuals and local communities by returning to the land, as well as taking advantage of new methods for to modify what "returning to the land" really entails.
There is exciting progress being made even in areas hardest hit by the current economic crisis. In fact, it might even be because communities have been hard hit that, similar to the necessary innovations in places like Greece, we are seeing evidence that people are transforming from a mindset of crisis avoidance and survival toward rendering the concept of economic crisis as irrelevant.

A designer friend of mine in San Francisco is selling dresses for wine bottles, particularly beautifully made cheongsam, those Chinese silk sheathes, specially sized so that they slip over a wine bottle. Crazy? Yes it does sound it, doesn't it - especially at $36 a pop - but the idea is that they provide super-elegant disguises for those who want to serve bottles blind.
You can get a wide range of colours and designs from www.christinefoleysf.com (search for 'wine').
I am told by those who live in Hong Kong, however, that you can pick up similar wine dresses for a song there. But if you want really high-quality fabric and stitching as a silly present for that wine lover who has everything, check out that website.
