Thanks Eeveelover824 for the animated banner!
Hey guys
So i see there hasn't been much activity lately in the club so i figured i'd post another match similar to the SC5 World Championship.
This match is from EVO (known as the world series for fighting games in general) EVO was said to have held the greatest SC5 tournament yet and since a few days ago we were talking about EVO i found it fitting, specifically the SC5 Grand Finals between:
Shen Chan from Singapore (Cervantes, winners bracket) vs Shining Decopon from Japan (Tira, loser bracket)
About the tournament, when i saw it live i was very surprised so few American and French players made it past they're pools both have really strong representation in Soul Calibur.
There were 0 Natsu's and 0 Leixia's in Top8
About the match, it was very hype to watch a Tira, who everyone thought was low tier, against a Cervantes who about mid-tier in the early tier lists.
Shining Decopon showed amazing skill with Tira and i think he was a worthy winner won't get into the technical stuff just yet, but his stance changes mid-match and after winning the round were very skillful.
Please comment and wright your opinions about the match so we can have a good discussion
Edit: Here's the full over 1 h SC5 top 8 for those SC monsters like eeveelover and Pocky Yoshi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct_GaIu4Ivw

I know next to zero about Soul Calibur but either way I like to see Nihon get repped well XP Winning 2-0 that is always cool to see (*^▽^*)
Ohyeah. And since a less people knew about APEX than I thought this is one of the Grand Finals of this year. Its long but I guess it gives a good feel for what APEX is like. Really hype especially during this final: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBGffJfBkd0

thanks i was watching the full hour one so far i see not much but safe but efficient attacks...what i don't understand though why in the world many people say tira is a lower tier? she still has fast quick movements to me since her new jolly and gloomy movesets in soul calibur 4 but apparently her teir list is C tier? im not getting that cauz i swore she was up there still? but cervantes though has come along for him to be in the more top teirs...i though tira is still up there in the teir but i don't make the teir lists and i will comment more after finished watching the videos... also i wouldn't think anyone would pick lexia anymore since she doesn't have most of the movesets as much as her mom did in 3 and 4 which makes her fade into the darkness of her mom's shadow sadly down the teir list ...as for natsu not many pick her do to i personally think lots of people don't like how she fights...i actually have a hard time using her and her voice is annoying...i think the new mix up style for natsu is not the same like i played with taki but im not everyone...thats just my opinion...i actually play with a top teir character Viola...
edit: okay i was looking very closely and i can't find the exact one but this may look legit tier list...pocket yoshi if i got the wrong teir list please correct me...
which shows tira is A list...

Imho, the Alexandras are always solid like how Mishimas are in Tekken. Pat is no where near b tier he should be up there too. Omega and Cervy should be a bit more higher as well. However, this is just my opinion.
Imho, I fear Cervy, Viola, Mitsu, Alpha Pat, Pyrrha, Omega Pyrrha, Pat, and Natsu as the top tiers for now. Everyone else I only fear because I'm blind to the match-ups, but I usually have some good fundamentals to polish up to ensure I stay in there.
There's not much of a tier list in SCV because I feel all the cards haven't been laid out yet. Sure Decopon was an extraordinary Tira player, but I'm pretty sure his opponent Shen would of stopped him cold if he was more familiar with Tira. Thus, it goes to show that tiers most times is just a reference on how much work you have to put in. With ZWEI, Damp, and Raphael for instance, you literally have to work very hard to get anywhere with peeps. Cervy and Pyrrha for instance are less work because they just seem more solid for instance. Everyone else is just mid imho.
Now I play also play Leixia as my secondary, eeveelover. She doesn't hit hard, but she has one of the best frames in the game. Not only that, her guard gauge damage is rather good. So even if you can't hit that hard, you can pressure them with mind games and mix-ups which is like the essence of SCV.

that is true i just don't know though i still play lexia but im not sure why though i just don't have the feeling like use to with xianghua when i use to play her...i still play her but i just don't feel the groove like i use to though with xianghua just saying yoshi...
Xianghua is frikkin' annoying! "My resolve cannot be svayed!" Wtf s that supposed to mean?
Leixia is even more annoying.
- Pyrrha Omega: *Growls mainiacly while gazing upon her oponent with furious eyes*
- Leixia: "We can talk afterwards, C'mon, let's fight!"
I mean, seriously?
Saying sorry won't change anything
All it takes, is asking for help so you can play her the way she should be played. I'm no Leixia specialist, but I can link you straight to a good acquaintance of mine who can help. Just watch the vids and you'll understand Leixia better: http://8wayrun.com/calibur/threads/l...oeffect.13226/
My resolve cannot be swayed is like saying "you can't change what I wish to be better at." Kind of like a boxer who has a resolve to be better and won't be talked into slacking off. If he followed the advice to slack off, then he has let himself become swayed. If this elaboration is enough for you haha.
Leixia is gonna be more annoying than her mom, because she's a young teen ready for adventure. She's annoying at first, but you have to understand when you're young and ready to do something new, you can sometimes be very jolly and energetic. I detested her at first, but she grew on me and then I began to like her enough to use over Hilde, Natsu, and Pyrrha.
Omega is well......yeah I kind of wished she didn't existed ^^;

thanks yoshi i really do appriciate you helping me out really but i really don't need to watch those i use her well enough to play her and i know how to play her right but she is kinda my main actually but im trying to act that she is not, do to im just annoyed at the moment do to it just don't feel like xianghua, the moves are there but still not xianghua...maybe its just that i want to move on to a different character as my main that might be it...im way more interested in viola now...its not that i don't like her its just i don't feel like using her as much anymore :/ i see so much of her mom's movesets but.....i may be sounding crazy i just don't know why but its just not the same like it use to be :/ why should i play a character that i don't feel putting effort in anymore that would be a disgrace to lexia and my love of xianghua...xianghua was my most favorite character and only one i played besides sophita in soul calibur III beside setsuka...xianghua i was really good with her...i just might be getting bored of the style of play...
edit: on the side note yoshi i will still take a look at it though maybe it may be some hope for keeping her on my main team...ill try though for you...she the the best character i play in soul calibur V but like i said it isn't then same

Pyrrha Omega, Natsu and Viola are my main characters. I always like the female fighters better than themale ones. the males are always too similar to each others, and the females always have the most awesome weapons. lol
Saying sorry won't change anything
if i remember correctly don't get me wrong elysian but didn't you say you got bored with viola jk jk just messing but imo everyone fighting style and weapons are like normal and what you mean simalar for the males? all there fighting styles imo are totally different from each out as well as most were the same style as the older game characters just new characters beside some like viola, and zwei...
Yeah, I did get bored, that is why I auditioned with other characters and found out I kick arse with Omega and Natsu. *bragbrag*
Zwei sucks. I am really disappointed with him
Saying sorry won't change anything
you mus brag lol and i see as for zwei he not that bad to wipe him off the game that he sucks but his character but his movesets could of been better. I am no zwei expert but i have played some really damn good zwei players before which I got my a** whooped before do to not many play him. it was my fault i wasn't familar with the character and i need to get my lazy but and learn to counter him. In all words people don't understand you can make any character a good player but what i would say is the same thing what yoshi said that is how much you put to training against a character as well as training to make that character your main fighter. I personally don't think zwei sucks though i just think he a bit misunderstood do to people don't like his fighting style.
Every character imo has there own potiental to be good to overcome higher teir but it would be harder to fight do to some of characters have disadvantages to range against a character for example viola and astaroth. Now for viola she can eaisly beat astaroth do to her long range attacks and can fight far way mostly using her gauge with critical edges and carefully out speeding astaroth but astaroth does have potential to beat a viola if they never learned to counter him. Supposedly players that are really good at there character if they learn to train but at the same time like yoshi said they don't know how to counter a certian charcter sometimes never had the time to lean to counter a certian character for me siegfried,yoshimitsu, and maxi are all my weak spots. I need to learn to counter them with my main charcters.
if you watched the video's though what lock crow showed it would make more sense. Im pretty sure pocket yoshi commented on this as well about tiers is about how much you well put into that character. I personally love viola style and i never will get bored of it. Also now gettin some thought about that i will try to continue to keep lexia up there as my main. I have to show what im good at and i have played xiangua for like 3 soul calibur games straight as one of my mains and i can't stop now. Thank you yoshi though for giving me a slap in the face to reality and stop whining about stuff and get my a** on track of getting better then i am.

NEW TOPIC: If you could possibly add a character to one of your favorite fighting games, would you do it? - why would you do so? - and who would this character be? Also, depending on the fighting game, explain their moveset/command list as well.
NOTE: Oh and by character, I mean by a video game character that's not on that fighting game you'd like them to be on. You're free to say more than one character.
I would add Dante from Devil May Cry, to Darkstalkers, here's why:
What does one require to become a Darkstalker or DarkHunter:
Connection with demonology and or folklore creatures: check
Fighting style fit to use in battle against other Darkstalkers: check
Backstory and reason to exist in the world of Darkstalkers: check
Canon which could intersect with the Darkstalkers world: check
Signature looking style unique to the character: 3x check (if counting with old Dante)
If Dante isn't in the new Darkstalkers game i'll facepalm several times straight and send hate mail to Capcom
In all seriousness DMC is the 4th biggest Capcom franchise they're milking it hardcore with DmC so the least they could do is put dante preferably the real one in DS 4, there's really no reason not to

Who Cares About Unemployment When We've Got Gay Marriage?
Today the Minnesota Senate passed a bill authorizing gay marriage which will be signed into law by our governor, Mark Dayton. That is the context for this text, which my oldest daughter sent me a few minutes ago: If I had a dollar for every #time4marriage hashtag on my feed I'd be rich. Someone should start a #time4jobs trend, seeing as there are approx. twice as many unemployed Americans as »
The sequester, jobs, politics, and national security
The White House, through economist turned flack Alan Krueger, wasted no time in blaming yesterday's lousy jobs report on the sequester. It's a ridiculous claim. As we observed, government employment held steady, and the sequester is too recent to have affected the private sector. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's, who is frequently cited by the Obama administration, agrees that the sequester is not yet in play. Zandi told CNBC: »
The Jobs Report and Immigration
Senator Jeff Sessions released this statement about today's disappointing jobs numbers: Today's jobs report reveals that 90 million Americans are now outside the labor force. We need to be getting Americans back to work, helping people move off of food stamps and welfare, and find good jobs with steady incomes. But the comprehensive immigration bill being drafted right now would provide nearly immediate work authorization to millions of illegal immigrants »
U.S. added only 88,000 jobs in March
The latest government jobs reports finds that only 88,000 jobs were added in March. That's half of the 12 month average and less than half of what most experts expected. The unemployment rate actually declined slightly to 7.6 percent. This is the result of the decrease of folks looking for work. The labor-force participation rate dropped from 63.5 percent to dropped to 63.3 percent, its lowest point since 1978, according »
Tough times in Europe
Under President Obama, the old normal unemployment rate in the former Western Europe — around 8 percent — seems to have become the new normal in the United States. I guess there's at least poetic justice in this, since leading Democrats like Obama and John Kerry tend to see Western Europe as a model for the U.S. Unfortunately, though, the new normal unemployment rate in Europe is much higher than »
Democrats Demagoguing the Minimum Wage, Again
John Cochrane of the University of Chicago and Stanford said it succinctly: Once upon a time, the minimum wage, like free trade, was a basic test of whether you were awake in the first week of econ 1. We put a horizontal line in a supply and demand graph. Minimum wages increase unemployment of poor people. Yes, that fact was once considered so obvious that, if I recall correctly, both »
The real unemployment
Megan McArdle makes this point in the context of the minimum wage, but it is one that I have tried to make a couple of times in the context of Obama's many and varied employment-suppressing policies generally: The thing about unemployment is that it's much, much worse than having a crap low-wage job. It's worse than almost anything. It's one of those life events that people never really recover from. »
Is Ned Ludd Writing for the Associated Press?
The Associated Press has undertaken an ambitious series of reports on the rotten U.S. and global economies. To its credit, the AP recognizes that our current recovery is, by any historical standard, awful: In the U.S., the economic recovery that started in June 2009 has been called the third straight "jobless recovery." But that's a misnomer. The jobs came back after the first two. Most recessions since World War II »
Another weak jobs report
Now that the election is over, most of us don't wait quite as breathlessly for the monthly job reports; nor is the media's urge to spin them quite as strong. But the reports remain consequential and the temptation to spin remains strong. Today's report shows that employers added 155,000 jobs in December 2012. The unemployment rate for December was 7.8 percent, unchanged from November (the November rate originally was 7.7 »
Another poor jobs report
Superficially, the November jobs report doesn't look bad. Non-farm jubs increased by almost 150,000 and the unemployment rate dropped to a four year low of 7.7 percent. Viewed with a little more sophistication, the report looks worse. 150,000 new jobs isn't very impressive. And the drop in the unemployment rate stems from the large number of Americans who stopped looking for work. In fact, the deeper one drills down, the »
Labor Department likely to issue jobs report on Friday
Despite initial suggestions to the contrary, it now appears that the U.S. government's jobs report for October will issue on Friday, as scheduled. Earlier, it was thought that the disruption likely to be caused by Hurricane Sandy in the Washington, D.C. area might well prevent the timely preparation of the report, and there was even speculation no report would be released until after the election. Hurricane Sandy did disrupt the »
Our Awful Economy, In One Chart
Michelle Obama says we are "in the midst of a huge recovery." That claim is laughable to anyone who has lived through the last four years; this simple chart from the Senate Budget Committee highlights one of the central failings of Obamanomics: people are leaving the labor force faster than they are entering it. Since Obama became president ten times as many people have been added to the roster of »
The real unemployment, cont'd
I've written a few times about "the real unemployment" that is bedeviling the country as a result of Barack Obama's destructive policies. My previous comments should be supplemented by Elizabeth MacDonald's Fox Business column of this past Friday on "The real unemployment rate." Now comes Americans For Prosperity with a powerful political ad titled "The Dinner Table." It is an ad that captures something of the widespread suffering I mean »
Mitt Romney on the new jobs report
In the post immediately below, I offered my view on the Labor Department's jobs report, which says that the unemployment rate dropped from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent last month. In sum, the purported improvement indicated by these numbers appears to have little or no basis in reality. Mitt Romney responded quickly to the report: This is not what a real recovery looks like. We created fewer jobs in September »
An October surprise
Today, the Labor Department reported that the jobless rate in the U.S. dropped from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent last month. This is the lowest rate in approximately three and a half years. But there's a problem with the report: it doesn't make sense. As Kevin Hassett points out, the 114,000 net jobs created in September is well below the average for this year (146,000) and the average for last »
Private Sector Job Growth Under Obama: What Are the Facts?
In speeches, President Obama touts his administration's supposed success in creating private sector jobs. Those who have lived through the last four years of high unemployment and economic stagnation naturally wonder whether Obama's numbers can possibly be correct. To answer that question, you have to pay careful attention to how Obama phrases his claim: Our businesses have gone back to basics and created over 4 million jobs in the last »
The real unemployment, cont'd
You may recall that the dismal August jobs report reflected a decline in the unemployment rate from 8.3 to 8.1 percent. Funny how that works, however, as Conn Carroll points out: "The U.S. economy actually lost jobs according to the survey the Labor Department uses to calculate the unemployment rate. And not for the first time. The U.S. workforce has declined for each of the last two months as has »

The Bluetooth Wearing Mailman March 15, 2012
Posted by humbug27 in Etiquette, General, opinions, Protocol, thoughts, Uncategorized, Work.Tags: Bluetooth, cell phones, mailman, observation, opinions, standards, workplace behavior
add a comment
My mailman is always talking on his bluetooth headset when he delivers my mail. I don't think it's a coincidence either. He's really loud too and I can hear him from inside my house. He's actually startled me a couple of times. Sometimes I think he's a stranger who's about to kick my door in and ransack the place. I recently began to wonder if he's breaking protocol with his cellphone chatter. In my opinion, he is. I may be alone here, but I don't think he should be talking on his phone. Granted, I don't supervise his entire route, but I suspect he's doing plenty of talking throughout. Call it a hunch.
I understand that the argument can be made that it doesn't matter because he works alone. However, whether he works alone or not, he's still at work. Why should he be allowed to make personal calls at will? Most, if not all jobs, would rule it unsavory to make personal phone calls throughout the day. Why is being a mailman any exception? I don't even know why it bothers me to be honest, it just does. I think it's unprofessional and indecent in a way. Maybe it bothers me because I feel like standards in the workplace are slowly dissolving. It seems like the lines between our personal and professional lives are blurring. Oh, and let's not forget the fact that you can't tell who people are talking to when they walk past with their headsets in their ears. I find it to be pretty awkward when I acknowledge as though they're talking to me, only to be ignored. Cast aside for the voice inside of their ear. It kinda makes me feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick…

The county's interim animal shelter director was officially introduced to the Sampson County Board of Commissioners this week, and she came bearing good news. In the last six weeks, the shelter has seen an outpouring of support and interest that has translated into 150 animal adoptions, a staggering number that far surpassed the facility's figure from all of 2011.
County manager Ed Causey introduced interim director Lori Baxter and said progress was being made at the shelter, a huge credit to Baxter, especially in light of some health issues that kept the facility short-staffed for much of her first month on the job.
"I'm happy to report that today we saw our 150th animal leave to an adoptive home or rescue since I started," she said Monday. "That surpassed 139 adoptions that took place in the entire year of 2011, so we're pretty happy about that. On our Facebook page, we've got a little more than 1,700 followers. Most of the people from that page are from the Sampson County/Clinton area."
She said the support from the community has been overwhelming, not only through volunteerism but tangible items needed by the shelter.
"We've received over $5,000 worth of donated goods in the last six weeks or so," she said. "So, I'm really pleased with the progress so far. We've still got a long way to go, but we're coming along nicely."
"Instead of being an interim, why don't you be our director?" asked Commissioner Jarvis McLamb.
"You never know what will happen," Baxter replied, with a laugh. "You never know."
Baxter was named the county's interim animal shelter director on June 22. The former animal services manager for Robeson County and animal control enforcement officer in both Cumberland and Guilford counties, Baxter was known for turning the Robeson facility around in the wake of animal neglect and abuse scandals. She brought her abilities to Sampson, where she has been quickly able to establish and grow the shelter's online presence while building relationships with rescues organizations and volunteers.
Board chairman Billy Lockamy thanked Baxter and said he had heard "a lot of good reports" since her arrival. Commissioner Jefferson Strickland asked to what Baxter would attribute the large increase in adoptions.
"We're just getting the animals out there," she said. "All the animals are now listed on PetFinder, AdoptAPet, 911Pets Facebook page — there's actually about 50 or 60 different websites out there that all of our animals listed on. There's a tremendous amount of networking that goes on on our Facebook page. If people don't know the animals are here, they don't know that they need homes. They're definitely out there now."
Baxter said while some animals have been adopted within the county, still many others have gone to surrounding counties and other parts of the state, even out of state, through rescue organizations.
Commissioner Albert Kirby inquired as to the level of interest of volunteers and how the shelter handles those who want to volunteer. Baxter said there has been an outpouring of those who want to give their time to the shelter.
"When we were having the staffing issues that Mr. Causey spoke about, we pretty much relied on the volunteers to keep the shelter running. It's been all positive," said Baxter. "We now have a written volunteer program and we're going to start doing volunteer orientations, hopefully next week, so that when volunteers come in they're coming in with a purpose and everybody has their own job and purpose for being there. The volunteers aren't tripping over the employees and vice-versa. Everybody comes in knowing what they needed to do."
Kirby said when it came to those who criticized, he borrowed from the words of John Kennedy. "Criticism is easy, sincerity is subject to proof," he noted. To that end, Kirby wondered how many of those were sincere about the welfare of the animals to the point that they were willing to roll up their sleeves and help out.
"I would have to say the answer to that is the people in Sampson County absolutely care and they're happy to know that the animals matter too," Baxter replied. "There's been a tremendous amount of volunteer support."
Causey said it was not out of the ordinary for Baxter to send him an email close to midnight with updates about the shelter, good news or other daily activities at the facility.
"I think a lot of the success she has had, with Facebook and whatever, is doing a lot of communication with people after hours," the county manager remarked. "For example, when she goes home on the weekends, it is not unusual that she will send me at least one or two emails of things she's done or communications she's had, which is truly a remarkable activity."
"I just get excited about some things and have to share it," Baxter replied.
Baxter currently commutes from Leland, an hour away, every day. Commissioners thanked her for her hard work and dedication to the position.
"Thank you for allowing me to come in to Sampson County," Baxter said. "People need to know, and they've shown, that animals matter too."
To find out more about the Sampson County Animal Shelter, call 910-592-8493 or contact Baxter at firstname.lastname@example.com. The shelter can be found online at www.facebook.com/SampsonCountyAnimalShelter. The facility is located at 168 Agriculture Place, Clinton, off of U.S. 421 South near the Livestock Facility.

Toyota reinvents the mundane in its Camry Super Bowl ad
Toyota will use its 30-second window during the Super Bowl to show the reinvented 2012 Camry. The company imagines what life could be like if other boring things were changed.
The commercial starts with a couch, but instead of cushions, you sit on supermodels. (It also comes in a male version.) The ad then asks, what if traffic cops were also massage therapists? That roadside visit would be a bit more enjoyable. The commercial includes plants fighting crime, babies who don't need diaper changes and a Department of Motor Vehicles visit that doesn't make you want to jump off a bridge.
The 60-second spot is here; people will see a shortened version on Sunday. The company also has another 30-second spot airing during the game.
The ad is definitely funny. We're just surprised it implies that the old Camry is as about exciting as a traffic stop and about as fun as a trip to the DMV. Don't get us wrong, we sort of agree. We're just surprised that Toyota is finally saying it.

Did Johnny Hart dis Islam?
I'm a mild fan of Johnny Hart (B.C. creator), mostly because I'm a Christian. That may have clouded my judgment, but I don't think this --
-- is true.
Says that the Nov. 10 B.C. strip was a veiled insult to Muslims. What's weird is that 5 big-time Sunday cartoonists agreed. Only Garry Trudeau stood up for him.
Then semiotician Marshall Blonsky said that Hart could have unconsciously added the message. Ludicrous, I say! Time for a poll!

The arguments there are about as stupid as when people were seeing phalic symbols all over Disney's The Little Mermaid. Arguing that people don't SLAM the door after them when they enter an outhouse is stupid. Cartoon characters, stone age people at that, SLAM all doors they walk through. The word SLAM being put in vertically as the "I" in Islam, is an obvious practical layout thing. The moon in the sky, and the moon on the door, are just a nice visual connection. And that the strip doesn't have an obvious point or gag, doesn't mean you need to invent one. It just is what it is.
Blonsky's Intentional Fallacy is a bag of bolonies. Of course it's important what the artist intended. Sentences like: " All that matters in artistic criticism, he said, is the effect of the art on its viewers: the way people interpret it. " just don't make any sense. Because no work of art will have the exact same effect on all viewers, or any two viewers for that matter. So which viewers interpretation do you pick, the critics, the average man on the streets or your mothers? The only solid ground you have to go by is the artists intent.
So my vote is a big NO (and here's a quote for you all)
"Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Behan

I voted no because I think think this is a case of some people seeing something that, while may be present, isn't what Hart intended. Therefore, the strip could be read as a slam against Islam, but I doubt that was Hart's intent. Especially since he denys it, the answer to the question is, "no, Johnny Hart did not dis Islam." A less black and white question is, "is the B.C. strip in question an insult to Islam?" And my answer to that is... possibly.
If the Blonsky quote is exactly as given (I was unable to find it, but I only did one quick Google, which is clearly not enough for serious searches, but suffices for this discussion- Hey, at least I tried), then it is cleary wrong, not for any deep philosophical reason, but because of the use of the phrase "all that matters." Clearly, that is not all that matters. It is certainly a large consideration, but it is not all that matters. I would also take issue with Ragtag's reply that "the only solid ground you have to go by is the artist's intent," because it has been proven time and again that the artist's intent may not reflect what the art itself has to say. Both positions are stated as absolutes in a field which cannot rely on absolutes.
I think the meanings, messages, intents and effects of art lie somewhere between the artists intent, what that intent creates, the effect on the audience and the interaction of the audience amongst itself in raction to the art as well as their interaction with the artist. It's all worth discussing as criticism and all contributes to the value of an artwork. It's why it's worth discussing. If all that mattered was the audience reaction, then it wouldn't be art, but something more like advertising. Conversely, if all that mattered was the artist's intent, then an audience isn't necessary. Where art really happens is in the conversation between the work, the creator and the audience.
Good morning! That's a nice tnetennba.

Ok, I can agree with that, that both the artists intent and the viewers reaction are important (it's just more fun beeing a little bombastic in your arguments
). I think I was trying to point out that the artist has one intent when he creates the work, while interpretations of the work will vary depending on the viewer. Of course, if you're going to interpret or criticise a work in the first place, all you have to go by are your own feelings and knowledge, as well as whatever the artist may have said about it (true of false). So it's not exactly an exact science, or like you said "Both positions are stated as absolutes in a field which cannot rely on absolutes. "
As for the Blonsy quote, it can be found at the bottom of the second page of the aritcle DecafSilicon linked to.

I dunno. I think that the artist's intention, while often very helpful in informing our analysis of a text, is often a red herring. How the work resonates in the cultural web of meaning that surrounds it generally strikes me as a more important factor.
Maybe whether an author meant to be racist or not is a slightly different case, though.

Here's the link to the cartoon (which will probably expire in a few days)
When I first read it, I saw it as a commentary against islamic fundamentalists, and islam by extension, and not a terribly subtle one either. I honestly don't see what else it could possibly mean. That Johnny Hart denies it later leaves me scratching my head and wondering if he would deny that the sky is blue. It's not surprising that he would deny it, since some papers would drop him if his comic became controversial.
Hart has a long history of religious commentary in his strip, and while I regularly find it offensive, I don't begruge him his right to be a bit of a nutjob. Cartoonists have a long history of that kind of thing. His strips are at their most interesting when they are at their most offensive.
Yes, if I were editing a Newspaper comics page I would consider pulling B.C., but not because of it's religious themes. More from it's tired jokes (which is why the 'duh, I'm a really bad cartoonist defense holds any water at all') The religious idiosyncracies are a reason I would keep it over, say, a Lockhorns, or the hated Cathy.
The point is, look at the cartoon. What else could it mean? Yes, artists intent matters, but it is also incumbent upon the artist to consider his audience. For example, I like the way fire looks. I like the way crosses look. Does this mean I could paint a burning cross with innocent intent and everyone would have to be cool with it? Of course it doesn't. I (unlike mr. Hart, I guess) am aware that symbols have meaning beyond what I assign to them, and claiming that "I just like crosses and I like fire too, so don't anyone get offended," would be pathetic.

We're covering well-trod ground, only applying it to a new form: Literary criticism has fleshed out the theories of artist's intent vs. cultural readings. The upshot is that we have scads of information to consult when deciding this.
Has Hart ever
a religion before? Seemed to me his approach was always and only a positive statement on Christianity.

Well, if he isn't attacking
...then has mastered the ability of making a comic that only "looks" like he's slamming Islam. Which could explain how he was able to make a strip that only "looked" like he was slamming jews.
So, as well as committing numerous crimes against comics, he's also the unluckiest dope who insulted the followers of two religions by accident.

I've only read about 50 or so B.C. comics so clearly I am not much of a fan nor a very good judge of this guys past comics, but I think this comic is the only B.C. comic that I have ever read that has been in any way clever and funny. I would applaud him for it if he wasn't such a mediocre cartoonist most of the time. If he is indeed the religious nut people say he is what else do people expect? Of course he's going to put down other's beliefs and claim his own to be superior. I have a number of comics and other works of art that seek to show my position as an atheist superior to the majority of the population's position of being invisible man fearers. Expressing one's beliefs is a fundamental aspect of art, or should be anyway.
Anyway my vote is yes and I'd like to see B.C. kicked out of the paper in favor of something more routinely offensive/entertaining like Jack Chick.

The whole argument about the meaning of the strip comes down to the question of the "slam" panel and if it was intended to represent "Islam." I really don't think this was on Johnny Hart's mind, but is pure
In fact, in
an interview
I turned up using Google, Hart says:
Johnny Hart wrote:
Yeah, I used to have her up in the air with her club always beating. And then after a while I figured probably by now everybody knew! Now I substitute a panel that says, Wham, wham, wham, wham! I probably don?t use that gimmick as often as I should.
This quote shows that Hart consciously does use "sound effects" like this in order to represent action and has been considering using it more often than he was at the time of the interview. Thinking about it logically, this approach is an ideal (and even typical) comics-based solution for saving space in a format (the modern American comic-strip) where space is at a premium.
Since this is the second post I've made in this thread, I think I need to add the following disclaimer: I don't like B.C. and stopped reading it years ago because I don't think it's funny or interesting or well-drawn. I also don't think it's out of character or out of the question that Johnny Hart might put some anti-non-Christian message in his comic, but I don't think that was his intent in this case. Sure, this strip could have been read as an anti-Islam statement, but I think it's just another unfunny comic strip.
Good morning! That's a nice tnetennba.

Read some old B.C, if you can. No religion, no god jokes, no bad taste. The blatent bash of Judaism, and this (I feel) bash on another unlucky religion is very offensive. It's not just these two controversial comics, either. His extreme preference of his own theology is sickening, not for his beliefs, but for the beliefs he seems to throw on others.
I've decided that signatures are redundant.

just reading the article
hmm... let's assume it is about islam. even if it is about isam it's an intresting question which is nearly not dicussed in the west.
is it the caveman interpretation of islam (e.g. taliban) which is the problem, or does the isam itself come in a way that produces these caveman interpretations.
if it means islam, that's probaby what 'Is it just me, or does it stink in here?' shall say.
so i it mans islam it poses an intresting, necessary question, which in itself does not attack muslims, but will have to be answered to make any dialog possible.
but i mean. maybe it is just about a caveman in a toilet. let's be honest, many musims think cocacola read the other way arond (the writing on the bottle) means no mohammad, no mekka in arabic letters. this is as stupid as the KKK story about marlboro.
so whatever he meant, it's an intresting strip. if anyone still has got it, please put it onine for me to downoad.
PS: why do i say, it is a non discussed question. because everyone just assumes one or the other, without n unbiased analyses of the 'facts'.
PPS: i don't have an answer to the proposed question. i hope it's just the caveman who stinks.

Nonsense, Newcombe said. To suggest there was a bigoted hidden message in this strip, he said, would be "race baiting."
"Why is the door slamming? You don't slam an outhouse door."
I've used an outhouse before.
They're usually made of wood, and are outside. Often, the only way to close the door is by slamming it.
The only thing stupider than the cartoon (which I haven't seen, but am inferring its stupidity based on other BC comics I've seen and the description of it) is the debate around it. It's not intelligent debate, it's arguing over whether people slam out house doors or not. Duh.

First Baptist Church on the Square will hold registration for Upward basketball and cheerleading with evaluations Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.
Cheerleading evaluations for girls K5 to sixth grade will be held in the New Life Building on the corner of West Haralson Street and Church Street. Basketball evaluations will be held in the Christian Family Life Center facing Church Street. Those wanting to be evaluated for basketball can also come on either date, but due to goal sizes the Saturday evaluation will focus more on children grades three to six.
Practices will begin the week of Dec. 3 and the first game will be Jan. 12. The cost of registration is $65 prior to Saturday and $75 afterward. Some scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline for registration is Nov. 24.
First Baptist Church on the Square has hosted Upward Sports Leagues for nine years. The Upward Sports program provides a sports experience stressing sportsmanship, teamwork, integrity and respect as much as winning.
The league offers competitive games by balancing the talent on each team and by utilizing a unique substitution system designed to provide every child equal playing time. Participants gain both athletic skills and values for success on and off the court. Through participation in Upward Sports, an athlete gets valuable game-time experience that improves skills and builds healthy self-confidence, church officials said.
To avoid player and parent burnout, the league limits the time commitment to one practice and one game per week. Upward Sports Leagues are 10-week programs that incorporate character-building principles into the sports experience. Although hosted by FBCOTS, Upward Sports is a community-based program and children and volunteers of any faith — or no faith — participate in Upward Sports.
"Last year, we had 287 kids from over 50 churches and some children who were not affiliated with churches participating in basketball and cheerleading," said Gerry Lord, minister of activities at FBCOTS, "We believe in the program and its goal to make every child feel like a winner, and we are looking forward to a great season again this year."
More information is also available on the church's website, www.fbclagrange.org under Activities Ministries or by contacting Lord at 706-884-5570.
Upward Sports is the world's largest Christian sports league for kids. This year, over 550,000 children in 47 U.S. states and Canada will participate in Upward Sports Leagues hosted by more than 2,400 churches.

Thanksgiving or Thanksgetting?
On Thursday, people gave thanks for what they have. The next day, they rushed out to buy things they want—whether for themselves or to give to others.
Thanksgiving has all but disappeared from the major media landscape. The Halloween candy wasn't even down to only Smarties when Christmas trees appeared in stores.
Black Friday sales didn't even wait for Friday this year. There were several retailers who decided to bump up the rush by opening the doors Thanksgiving night. Walmart's Black Friday deals started at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving, according to the Journal Sentinel. And Target stores opened at 9 p.m. Thanksgiving, according to Bloomburg Business Week.
In 2011, sales were estimated to be $11.4 million—a 6.6 percent increase over 2010—according to a CNN report on Black Friday sales. But almost half of them were buying things for themselves, 11 percent more than reported doing so in 2010. It's hard to believe that trend will reverse itself this year.
But there are a few places trying a different approach.
There's the online effort 30 Days of Gratitude—which has spawned its own viral Facebook movement, with people using a status update every day in November to post one thing for which they are thankful. There's Buy Nothing Day—the same day as Black Friday—which encourages people to avoid the retail scene altogether on that most-hyped shopping day.
Some have started petitions against retailers opening early, like this one against Target's Thanksgiving night deal-making. And a Kenosha woman started a petition asking Walmart to give employees Thanksgiving off, rather than making them stock shelves and prep for the 8 p.m. opening.

Its called Gray Thursday now Black Friday Eve is so old fashioned

The only way it stops is if people don't show up and there's no benefit to being open. Based on the response to this year's Thanksgiving day openings, it doesn't appear there's even a remote possibility of that happening.
11:17 am on Sunday, November 25, 2012
Someone will always be there, if only for the incredible deals they use to lure people into the stores. They were selling cell phones for less than a dollar in some places. In this economy people WILL line up to have a chance at something they might never otherwise be able to afford.
For me, nothing would be worth having to trample over other people to fight for something that may be sold out by the time I get to the shelf.
Bob McBride
4:44 pm on Sunday, November 25, 2012
Unless I'm mistaken, you can get a cellphone free from our government if you're so poor that you actually can't afford a plan that comes with a free phone now. I'm not sure what you're seeing here is people buying necessities they couldn't afford otherwise. In addition, if people were buying only the door busters and leaving when they ran out, I don't think you'd see this going on for very long. I doubt the markups on door busters are enough to keep the doors open on their own.
4:54 pm on Sunday, November 25, 2012
@Bob McBride -- Since I'm currently looking into getting my first cellphone with a pay as you go service like TracPhone, the idea of a phone that cheap was briefly appealing. But to quote from the movie Tommy Boy, I think I might have been getting myself a genuine piece of cr@p.
There are some of us who aren't poor enough for free cellphones but not rich enough to waste money on something that will take videos and do my taxes when all I want to do is make a phone call when I'm away from home.

I am all for Black Friday shopping, it benefits customers, and retailers. But carrying this into Thanksgiving day, almost defeats the purpose of Thanksgiving. It's a little hypocritical.

How sad it is. People standing in lines for hours to buy things that for the most part probably nobody really, really wants or needs anyway. Spending money and using coupons is now more important than spending quality time with one's families. What a world this has become.And after Christmas, so many of these unwanted things will just be returned to the stores.
10:21 am on Sunday, November 25, 2012
This is a pathetic new approach to be included with a holiday of gratitude for what we have. It just makes me sad to see the hoards of customers pushing each other around for new stuff.
11:26 am on Sunday, November 25, 2012
My family was never particularly religious, so I've come to use the holiday more as a benchmark of who we've lost over the past year and who we've gained. I take stock of what's important in life and, while there are things that could improve, I still have a lot that is worth being happy about.
We had a special turkey meal, but we never treated it as the huge gobble-fest that seems to be the norm also.
I think it's very sad for the people who have to work on Thanksgiving evening just to push the limits of the shopping frenzy up for a few hours.

I agree with Bob, if people would stop showing up for the junk, the stores would stop. Now that the numbers are in and the Thursday sales took away from the Friday sales, all in all I think the retailers lost out due to all the extra labor costs to open the door on Thursdays. Hopefully they will learn that there is a limit to everything. Besides, how many flat-panel tvs does one need?
11:48 am on Sunday, November 25, 2012
Is there any other kind of TV being sold than flat-panel nowadays? So basically, when your old set dies, you need a flat-panel. I don't think it's a sign of outrageous luxury anymore.
Now, do you need a 64 inch screen? Probably not
James R Hoffa
3:44 pm on Sunday, November 25, 2012
@Randy1949 -
Mitsubishi still manufactures and sells DLP and Laser based rear projection sets, which if Hoffa needed a new set would actually be his preferred choice over any flat panel currently manufactured. And Sony and Panasonic still manufacture and sell CRT based sets, albeit only for the commercial/broadcast industry.
Hoffa is still very pleased with the performance of his console CRT Curtis Mathes (made in Texas), and CRT based Curtis Mathes rear projection (made/assembled in California). Hoffa only ever had to replace the CRT tubes in the rear projection once with NEC tubes, otherwise, both are trucking along beautifully. Anyone who sees them can't believe the picture quality that Hoffa is able to achieve, as both sets are professionally ISF calibrated.
Flat panels today are much like VHS was to Beta. While Beta achieved a higher quality, the asses of the masses propelled VHS to a market dominance over Beta. Just like the inferior picture quality of flat panels over their competing technologies.
Hoffa rarely ever agrees with the majority of consumers, as they tend to be idiots.
4:48 pm on Sunday, November 25, 2012
@Hoffa -- Randy is familiar with the Curtis Mathes brand, as Randy's father bought one back in the 1960s after having been told it was the best TV ever. Let us just say that Randy's family became good friends with the TV repairman, who was at our house frequently until the set finally died entirely after only a few years. Meanwhile, an older crappy Zenith portable worked like a trooper and lasted us into the mid-1970s.
The cabinet on the Curtis Mathes was a splendid piece of woodworking, though. Randy's father took the guts out of it, and it has done the family service as a bookcase and now a TV stand in my son's home.
11:46 am on Sunday, November 25, 2012
We are supposed to be Thankful for things we have, like peace, good health & happiness. Seems like the real meaning has been forgotten and every year the Christmas sales start earlier and people become greedier! Lets get back to the real meaning and remember that it's not just a big shopping day cause there are always sales. Feel sorry for the people who had to work on Thanksgiving in the stores.
7:32 pm on Sunday, November 25, 2012
I don't buy something because it's on sale, I buy it because it is needed (for me, as a gift, etc.). I don't understand the need to "stock up" on electronics, etc., just because it's on sale, and especially not on a commemorative day such as Thanksgiving. Others may do as they please, of course.

I prefer to worship and thank the Lord for all His many blessings to me and my family on Thanksgiving Eve at Grace Lutheran Church in Racine. I spent Thanksgiving with my immediate family. Ate a wonderful Turkey dinner at Golden Keys restaurant in Racine. Not a freebie as in years past, too much food got wasted (due to some health department regulations that discouraged packing up massive amounts of food and donating it, for some odd reason). Did not participate in Black Friday at all, not interested in the crowds or the stuff. Not even Advent yet, and I don't get too worked up on the material aspects of Christmas anymore, too concerned with just keeping our household going in these tough times. Prefer to focus on why Christ came, and what His first advent has to offer me in regard to the difficulties I face in life.

I do not participate in Black Friday sales, or as I call it, Greedfest.
Heather in Caledonia

I tend to let myself get caught up in excitement and hype, so a few years ago I did the early morning Black Friday shopping (then it was only at 7:00 AM, not midnight). It wasn't nearly as exciting and fun as I thought it would be and barely worth the savings. Over the years, there have been a couple of things we've purchased on Black Friday, but we don't make An Event out of it. This year I purposely stayed away from stores most of the weekend so as not to fight with crowds.
We were lucky to have a lot of time to visit with family and friends this Thanksgiving weekend and I also took the time to relax and refresh. Christmas, to me, is not about giving The Best Present Ever. It's about the birth of Christ and how we show love to each other by giving of our time and (modest) gifts as God showed His love to us by giving His only Son. I don't want to spend a month shopping, listening to Christmas music, and decking halls only to have it all over in a flurry of wrapping paper at the end of December.
I agree, that if they didn't get the customers, the stores wouldn't be open. Apparently, there are enough people who want to give up their time off to stand in line and compete for deals. If I ran a store, I would still be closed until regular time on Friday, but I can understand the need to compete for shoppers' dollars by giving them what they want.
Heather in Caledonia

Does anyone remember when the Friday after Thanksgiving was the day to go to the movies? I remember going to the movies because nothing much was open and we were tired of staring at turkey leftovers. :) It was always crowded at the movie theatre - everyone else had slept in late, too, and wanted to get out and have a good time. Ahhh... the good old days.... :)

I think the stores should wait until Friday to open their doors. Thursday is still a day people should spend with their families, not rushing to get the best deals.

Apparently a lot of people don't understand consulting services. When many prospects shop for a marketing consultant (like me), they often expect some sort of price and package menu like the image below.
Hmmmm, after looking at the fees for the services in this image… I may have to rethink my fees
So why hire a consultant?
Seriously, the reason you hire a consultant is because they should "consult" with you on what you need and customize their services specific to those needs. And they should have specialized experience and know-how of what you require to succeed. And you don't have to hire a consultant as an employee – no overhead, no insurance, no commitment to keep them, easy to hire and fire, and many more benefits of a non-employee status. You have total control.
However, you as a business owner typically don't know what you don't know outside of your areas of expertise, so package pricing is really of little to no use to you.
Every small business is different in their marketing needs, and every small business is at a different stage and level of marketing. There are thousands of self-help websites, books, tools, and more out there – and many of them free. But, it's not just knowledge of using the tools you need, but the strategies and applications that would fit your particular business that are far more important for implementation.
Most small business owners do NOT have the time to learn marketing, nor how to properly apply best practices.
And if you start talking to a consultant who doesn't ask you a lot of questions about you and your business, end that call!
Do you really want to hire someone for a generic marketing package that may or may not bring results to your business? That is why I don't offer package prices. I do, however, work on a sliding scale based on the size of the job, length of time, customized preparation involved, and so on.
Food for thought:
You have total control. That's the beauty of a consultant. You don't have to employ another person to get a specific job done. You can retain a consultant for as long as you like as an as-needed go-to resource for your business.
It's really quite a high ROI.
And why do I work exclusively with SMBs and NPOs? The passion of a SMB owner or NPO leader is contagious and energizing!

About CrossFit
Fitness in 100 Words
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

What we liked: clean room, bath room, understanding staff (except one old gentleman), reasonable behavior, deliver what is promised. What we did not like: dryer... yes, they have in-house self service washer and dryer. They did not tell us if dryer does not work (may be they were also not aware of).
