RPM Pin-Up 2.0

RPM for 12Gauge Comics
It's my pleasure to announce that I'll be a regular contributor on 12GAUGE's RPM, written by world renowned wrestler and best selling author MICK FOLEY and partner Shane Riches. With covers exquisitely crafted by the man himself, Brian Stelfreeze.
As described in an interview conducted on CBR, 'The title follows car driver Revere Windsor, a descendant of the legendary Paul Revere, as he races from Boston to Miami to deliver an important package. Some international criminals and government agencies look to permanently detour the hero, but thankfully he holds a secret under his metaphorical hood: a hyper kinetic depth perception that allows him to see and react to things faster than anyone else.'
When I got the call from Keven Gardner, owner/EIC of 12GAUGE Comics to draw the 4-issue series I almost fell off my chair. The company has a rich diversity of books and stories that boggle the imagination, coupled with an insane round table of heavy hitters ensuring production value, and artist alumni that would make any comic book enthusiast weep with envy. Doug Wagner, Ron Marz, Brian Stelfreeze, Chuck Dixon, Adam Hughes, Jason Pearson, Karl Story, and Cully Hamner, just to name a few. Damn good company to keep especially for a newbie like me!!! You may have seen some of their books : The Ride, O.C.T., Body Bags…
RPM is one of the new properties slated for the fall and we're in great shape having completed the first three installments to date, and blessed to have snagged the talents of long-time buddy and superstar Michael E. Wiggam (StarWars:The Clone Wars) to lay down the colour gauntlet for the books.
Enjoy some sneak peeks from the series and a few behind the scenes roughs created during the project's inception. I'll be posting some pin-ups in the upcoming days so stay tuned! And if you care to read more about Mick 'Mankind' Foley and his foray into comics check out the aforementioned interview for RPM over on Comic Book Resources.
As we speak the San Diego Comic Con is underway and showing the industry's biggest and brightest. If you're a fan of Mick's, 12GAUGE, Boondock Saints, or just excited to see more RPM material (ashcans, posters), pass by the 12Gauge booth (2045) and show some love!!
Cheers, All!

Back To SCHOOL!
A heartfelt thanks to Samantha over at Studio Technique in Montreal for allowing me to retrace my steps as a teacher and share some insights in some impromptu courses I gave earlier this year. We focused on the fundamentals of character design and dynamic posing, gesture, clothing, facial construction, and basic anatomy.
Thanks to my faithful student body (Manny, Philippe, DJ, Mathieu, Dre, and Todd) who took my drawing intensive, lumps and all, and survived to draw another day. Congrats, guys!! Well done!
Samantha Youssef is an amazing instructor with a healthy background in feature animation having worked for plenty of the bigs, including Disney on a variety of projects. Gaming production houses regularly seek her life drawing sessions and courses to better their staffers and technicians. Did I mention she was a student at my school once? Circle of life: The student becomes the master, and the master becomes the learner! And there's so much left to learn!! Check out her studio online.
From time to time I get a request for the occasional try-out and I'm usually happy to oblige. It can be time consuming and tricky, given that I'm not always paid to produce these pages, and one always has to juggle other assignments and focus on time management. As a freelancer, for those of you contemplating the perils of the business of illustration, it's customary to work solidly for short periods (commercial bursts) and find yourself knee deep in unemployment shortly thereafter (without UI benefits), and for prolonged periods of time. This year alone I've survived multiple dry spells, where catching up becomes an exercise humility and painstaking optimism that often defies all odds. Through this an artist must draw up the courage to persevere, and take opportunities as they come, be they sure footed or hopeful alike.
Here are a few try-outs I gladly embarked on this year: A BOOM page, some Euro work, and a Terry Fox project.
Go SIMON GO!
Long time no see, folks! I'm still too bogged down with deadlines to really contribute on a regular basis around here, but I definitely wanted to catch up with a few diddy's from time to time. It's CON season and you're probably hot on the trail of your fave artist, signing, con function or prize in the aisles, so remember to pass by the Artist Alley at your local show and show your support for the creator types. I'm too buried freelance-wise to enjoy some of that awesome convention atmosphere but be sure to hook me up with details if you're in the neighbourhood. I'll put on a pot of tea and break out the good biscuits!!
Below are a few dynamic colour renditions from my UK collaborator Simon Gough. He sent me these fantastic pieces and I just had to share them. Pencils by me, inks on Wolverine by Chris Valkonen aka VAKS.

0Q: What does a women love just as much as a killer pair of shoes?
A: A killer bag.
If you haven't already laid your eyes on our fabulous bags by Pepperberry, then you must take a look! The party season is nearly here and that is closely followed by the holiday season and we have bags for every occasion.
If you are sneaking in a cheeky Christmas break, we have the ultimate in weekend style. The Oil Skin Weekend Bag is available in an on trend ethnic print, this is a weekend bag to show off. It is fully lined and it's a good size, so will fit all your bits and pieces with extra room left over. There is a matching Oil Skin Satchel available, a great option for everyday use and a matching purse, the Oil Skin Purse, which is also fully lined.
For glitzy and glam Christmas nights out, a few sequins and a bit of satin are a must. Whether you are opting for a bodycon fitted cocktail dress, a fifties style prom dress, or full length ball gown, the essential partner to a knock out dress is a cute, sexy clutch bag. Pepperberry have a great choice for any colour and style of evening dress.
The Silver Diamante Clutch Bag, would look great with steel or a darker silver, or any jewel colour like ruby or jade, don't forget to team it with silver heels too.
If you are wearing black heels with your evening dress, then black accessories are the way to go.
Pepperberry have two stylish clutches, the Black Clutch Bag in faux snakeskin is the simpler of the two, but would look great with a trouser suit or jumpsuit and a tux. Or you can go for the decorative clutch, the Sequin Envelope Clutch Bag is gorgeous clutch with a real vintage look, it is covered in black sequins, with gorgeous diamante clasp in the shape of a leaf. If you are looking for a statement clutch, then this would be perfect.
The coming party season means metallics are everywhere on the high street. We know there is lots of gold and silver out there, but pewter can also been seen in the shops and is harder to match up with accessories. However Pepperberry have the answer, the Pewter Clutch Bag, which is stylish and simple will be the perfect accompaniment to a pewter evening top or dress.

0Yet another glittering awards ceremony took place recently in Los Angeles, the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. An evening that recognises and honours the television industry. There were a few predictable winners, namely hit US shows. Modern Family and Mad Men, but there was also some success for British shows and actors. The extremely popular and fast growing ITV drama Downton Abbey was a big winner as was its leading actress Dame Maggie Smith. Oscar winner Kate Winslet was honoured for her role as Mildred Pierce.
The A-List ladies were out in force and it really was a close call when it came to who really 'wowed' on the red carpet, but Christina Hendricks seems to exude glamour like nobody else, so hurrah! Another triumph for us big boobed girls. Her dress was by Johanna Johannsson and was a jewel encrusted sliver fitted dress with a fluted bottom, a deep-V which enhanced her wonderful cleavage and a sexy split. If she reminded us of anyone, well it was difficult to miss how much she resembled Marilyn Monroe.
The colour red was very evident at The Emmys in the fashion stakes, with actresses Lea Michele, Kate Winslet, Nina Dobrev, Adrianne Palicki and TV hosts Giuliana Rancic and Nancy O'Dell all plumping for it. None of them appeared to be 'red faced' that the others had turned up in the same colour, which tells us how on trend 'the red dress' is going to be this autumn/winter. Prepare to see the red dress popping up in stores near you and don't be surprised if the office party at Christmas, is a blaze of red dresses. Luckily enough, Pepperberry are bringing out a red maxi dress, that will be available to buy from the 17th October. It is absolutely stunning and is very similar to the style of Christina Hendricks Emmy's dress, but obviously in bold red. Keep your eyes peeled as it's coming very soon and for anyone who can't wait and wants a preview, the dress can be found on Pepperberry's Facebook page.

0You may be going to a wedding reception, or have tickets to the theatre, or you may be meeting the girls for cocktails and canapés followed by a meal at a top restaurant. Whether it's a very special birthday, or a friend's wedding, it will be glamorous and swanky and everyone will be dressed in their finery.
Bravissimo are here to hold your hand and point you in the right direction, look no further than Pepperberry, Bravissimo's own clothing range. If you have worn your old faithful Pepperberry dress at previous weddings and birthdays, we have some stunning new dresses in this week, that are bang on trend and will be perfect for August and September, but will also be great for Christmas parties later in the year.
The Platinum Shift Dress, is an absolutely sensational dress and is following the bodycon trend that originated from the designer Herve Leger, who has been designing these dresses since the eighties. Later the trend was reinvented by Victoria Beckham in her first collection. This dress by Pepperberry is very flattering and will hug your curves, it is structured, which is always a better option for bigger boobs. The dress is fully lined in contrasting purple and it is available in platinum satin. It has capped sleeves and an aubergine skinny belt that is detachable. For a dramatic look you could accessorise it with purple heels, clutch bag and wrap.
The Rose Print Prom Dress, is a cutie of a dress, it takes its inspiration from the 1950s. The bodice of the dress is in jewel-like purple and the skirt is a lovely rose print with a net underskirt for that great fifties look. The waist is defined by a large purple bow, which is reversible and there are hidden tabs under the straps to keep your bra in place too. You could accessorise with black satin heels, a short satin tuxedo bolero, and a teal clutch.
There are plenty more utterly gorgeous, sexy and chic dresses in our NEW IN section online or available in our stores. So whatever your posh event this bank holiday weekend, don't miss out, and switch on the glamour with Pepperberry.

0So when you go on your next shopping trip, make a visit to Bravissimo a top priority, it will cut out a lot of unnecessary leg work. For those of you that don't know, Pepperberry is a range of clothes designed especially for us, taking into consideration all of the common problems that us ladies encounter when buying clothes. You will be able to say goodbye to stretched fabric, buttons straining and gaping, tops riding up and ending up too short in the body. Our clothes are designed in standard sizes, but the clever bit is, you can buy them in Curvy, Really Curvy and Super Curvy, so there is a size to fit everyone. As we know all too well, that even if you have the same bra size as your best friend, your boobs are different shapes, so a Really Curvy may fit you and your friend may be a Super Curvy.
For a preview of what we have to offer in our autumn range from Pepperberry, have a look at some gorgeous new tops we have selected for you.
The Floral Twist Front Blouse is a pretty, casual top, it has a deep V neckline that will divide your boobs beautifully, and a V- neck will also give the impression of lengthening your torso. This top has a twisted detail at the front, which is very flattering and the print is a cute ditsy floral.
The Jersey Chiffon Trim Top, is not too low-cut but still incredibly sexy, (think less is more with this top) It has a slight sheen which makes it a perfect going out top, it is made of jersey and has a gorgeous ruching detail and chiffon trim around the neckline, and it is available in black.
The Ruched Jersey Top is pretty similar to the top above, but a more daywear option, it is available in grey marl, which is great for this autumn/winter, it is perfect for you sporty girls, but is still on trend. It has long sleeves and a panel of ruching at the front and is very roomy and super comfortable for your boobs.

0A major UK retailer recently reported rocketing sales of their Brazilian knickers. Now I bet, like us at Bravissimo you are scratching your head wondering 'what exactly do a pair of Brazilian knickers look like?' If it's anything like the Brazilian you would receive at the beauty salon, well there won't be much to them. But we can reliably inform you, that they are a higher cut short, offering no VPL (visible panty line). In our opinion Bravissimo have been offering this very style for quite a while now and there is no denying, that if you do not get on with a thong, this is a fantastic, comfortable alternative that will not show under your clothes, creating that dreaded VPL.
As bras so often take centre stage here at Bravissimo, we thought we would give you a quick lowdown on some of our great knickers that look fabulous, but also work wonders in making the best of your bottom. The Poppy Brief, is cut higher but is wider at the sides than your average brief. It features a lovely poppy print panel on the front, with the contrast of the gorgeous black lace sides, which makes these briefs a very sexy buy.
The Lula Mai brief by Masquerade, is cut lower at the sides, but you will have no VPL with these. They are available in antique ivory, and are a contrast of embroidery and luxurious satin. They have that antique look to them, but are sexy and sophisticated with it; you could also wear these with an ivory bra, as a mix and match option.
The Dotty Spot Shorts by Bravissimo are as cute as anything, Fifties inspired, these shorts have a panel at the front in the red dotty print, with a contrast of aqua sides. They are decorated with three gorgeous bows and a pocket on the back, just to increase the cute factor a little bit more; they are made in a super soft and comfortable fabric too.
The Tango Brief by Panache (which are exclusive to Bravissimo) are a great shape, they are again cut wider at the sides than the average brief and create a wonderful smooth silhouette with no VPL. If you want to bring some colour into your underwear drawer, these briefs will do the trick; they are available in spearmint, deep coral and petrol and plenty more vibrant shades.
For more sassy and sexy pairs like these, check out our website…Who needs Brazil when you have Bravissimo!
Bag a Bargain
July 17th, 2011
0The Tassel Slouch Bag in coral is a great soft, slouchy bag, that has plenty of room for all that stuff, that us girls carry around with us. Coral is a big colour this summer and it will continue to be seen in autumn/winter too, as pastels will be mixed with soft greys and nudes. The Tan Leather Bag is a fantastic autumn bag, tan is a great alternative to black or dark brown when the sun is still shining, but there is a crispness in the air. This bag is made of real leather and will look great this summer worn with a tan skinny belt over a little floral dress with bare legs and gladiator sandals, and in autumn or winter with tights and boots. The Canvas Shopper Bag is another great bag from Pepperberry, 'shoppers' have been on trend for a couple of years now, and this one is a real classic, with the contrast of the beige canvas with patent handles. This would look fabulous with a maxi dress and espadrilles for the rest of summer and when autumn comes, it will look super stylish with a pair of the new 70s style flared jeans, a checked shirt or white classic shirt, tucked in and belted and worn with a blazer, the look is Charlie's Angels in the mid 70s.
All great bags, that will look great right now and will see you through the next season quite happily too. Look out for more on autumn wardrobe building in future Bravissimo blogs.
Time for T
July 13th, 2011
0So if you have already found your perfect T and you are still searching for the perfect T-shirt bra to wear under it, then look no further, Bravissimo have some great bras that will create a smooth silhouette under your T-shirt. Try our Smoothing Seamfree Bra by Fantasie, it is an underwired moulded balconette, it comes in black or nude, it will become a real wardrobe favourite, as it gives great uplift, support and shape. We know there are many Deco fans out there, and lets face it, it is a great bra, the Deco Bra by Freya gives amazing cleavage, and comes in black, nude and the new colour mint, which is selling out fast. It is recommended that you go down a cup size in the Deco if you are between sizes.
The Porcelain bra by Panache is a fantastic everyday bra, it creates a lovely rounded shape and is cut higher in the cups to accommodate our bigger-boobed Bravissimo ladies, it is very comfortable and will look great under any T-shirt from the super fine to the more heavyweight option.
Smart Packing
July 11th, 2011
0Maxi dresses can be worn day or night (changing flip flops to wedges at night and adding some great gold hooped earrings and gold bangles). See the Coral Print Maxi Dress by Bravissimo, it is a very flattering empire line and sits under the bust creating a fabulous cleavage. It is a great colour and will look fantastic with a tan and it's made of cotton, so it will keep you nice and cool. The Jersey Beach Dress by Bravissimo in fuchsia, is the perfect beach cover-up, it's very simple, stylish and looks great. The Bandeau Beach Dress by Bravissimo comes in gorgeous aqua blue that will also look amazing with a golden glow. The bandeau style and halterneck is super flattering. This dress could also double up for nights with some chunky silver jewellery and silver thong sandals.
The Bright Ideas Tankini Top by Faubourg is new and exclusive from Bravissimo. It is a great alternative to the swimsuit if your bikini days are over. This tankini is in a bold black and white floral print and has that surf girl feel to it. It is underwired, with a halterneck and has matching drawstring briefs.
The Spotty Tulip Dress by Pepperberry is a really fun, sexy, frock and perfect if you fancy dressing up a bit while you're on your hols. The dress boasts two popular trends this summer, the tulip shape and the spots. It is slightly shorter than shown online, so be prepared to show some leg! The next dress definitely deserves a mention, as it's really popular with our Bravissimo ladies is the Tulip Print Chiffon Shirt Dress by Pepperberry. A lovely feminine, floral, floaty dress and can be dressed up or down. The Leaf Dress by Pepperberry, in light summery satin, is great for balmy summer nights. It comes in fuchsia or turquoise, the neckline is a crossover plunge v, which flatters the boobs and the elasticated empire line panel highlights and defines the waist area.
If it does get chilly at night, you may need a cardi to throw over your shoulders, try the Deep Rib Cardigan by Pepperberry or the Grosgrain Tape Cardi by Pepperberry, both work as perfect summer cover-ups and they are light enough not to make your suitcase groan. A few of your Bravissimo favourite lingerie sets, your lightest nightdress, a panama or wide brimmed sun hat, one pair of Havianas and one pair of evening wedges or heels and your done! You are now ready to say bon voyage to the rain soaked runway and hello to foreign summer sun.
Suits You Madam
July 1st, 2011
0In 2011 the one piece is enjoying a revival and has become sexy again. The swimsuit is also a lot more flattering if your tummy is not as flat as it once was. Lets face it, whether it's a post-baby belly or normal weight gain that comes with age, a perfectly flat stomach is hard to achieve and a swimsuit can hide a multitude of sins. Bravissimo have got some fabulous swimsuits this season, one that definitely deserves a mention is Soprano Swimsuit by Hoola Swimwear. You will look drop dead gorgeous in this on the beach, it comes in coral and white pinstripes and has that 1950's shape that is so on trend right now. The vertical stripes are very flattering and the halterneck straps give great uplift, and fantastic cleavage. Get it before it goes! And don't forget to check out Bravissimo's other swimsuits right here.
Festival Chic
June 23rd, 2011
0Whatever the weather at Glastonbury (last year very sunny, 2007 the wettest on record, this year starting wet, but will dry up, fingers crossed) the festival is THE place to do some people watching and it's a fantastic opportunity to check out some amazing fashion. Looking good at a festival is an art, it has to look effortless and you have to be prepared for rain & shine.
So if our Bravissimo girls are heading to any of this summer's festivals, here is your definitive guide to what to wear and what to bring. Pepperberry have some great festival fashion, the Crinkle Tiered Dress in orange is the perfect festival dress and will look great with a pair of posh Hunter wellies. Don't forget your shorts, like Pepperberry's Button Front Short in navy, they also look really cute with a pair of wellies, (and navy won't show the mud). The Viscose Floral Scarf just screams Glastonbury, and a scarf is a pretty handy piece of clothing at a festival, it will keep your neck warm at night when there is a nip in the air, it will also protect you from the sun, if it gets too hot. The Long Shell Necklace has that hippy vibe and will complete your festival outfit.
Other Essential Items:
Long socks, (there is nothing worse than short socks disappearing into the depths of your wellies)
Hand sanitiser
Baby wipes
Sun cream
Toilet roll
Small purse or bag, that you can wear across the body
Wellies (don't bother with any other kind of footwear)
Sun hat
Waterproof jacket with hood
And don't forget your toothbrush (you never know who you might kiss)

Interesting take on a tight
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The lower leg on these tights are warm, but the upper "high-tech" portion, isn't... I've ridden in 40 degree weather with these, and while I wasn't freezing, the legs were a bit cool. I expected these to be the warmest tights Mavic made, but doesn't seem to be the case.
Also, size down on these. I'm normally a Medium, but the Smalls are plenty big. Also, the chamois is a little loose in the front, which caused some chafing... Hoping this will go away after a few more washes,,,
Look good while you freeze your ass off

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I couldn't agree more with the first reviewer. Everything he says is true. I was completely misled by the "true winter cycling tight". It was a 30 degree day and the second I stepped outside I knew I was in for a loooong day. The panels on the front seem to block the wind nicely... it's too bad this material isn't used all over, because it's been an hour since I've returned from my ride and I'm just now regaining feeling in my rear end. The tag says these are rated down to 5 degrees. Who's in charge of Mavic's temperature rating system, a freakin' yeti?
The pants fit well and look great, and the Chamois is comfy and well built, but I paid for winter pants and these are more like late fall early spring pants.
Complete Fail

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These were worn for the first time at 10 degrees, and I just about froze my tail off. The description as a ?true winter cycling tight? is way off, spring/fall is about the limit I?d go with them. They are the equivalent of bib shorts and mid-weight leg warmers. When I pulled them out of the bag I thought wow these are thin, technology is awesome. Turns out I should have listened to my initial concerns. They have virtually no wind resistance, wind literally blows right through the ?reinforced? area on the thigh and the rest is like wearing a screen door in a wind storm. 10 degrees is cold, however the guys in the group in other tights were just fine. The chamois is quite nice, but that?s about the extent of my praise. These are not a winter product at all.
The size means US size? Or International...

Photo: Dwight Carter In her new memoir Mom & Me & Mom, Dr. Maya Angelou explains how she reconnected with the mother who abandoned
her during her childhood, but who came to be a strong, vital force in
her adult life. Read this Oprah.com excerpt and watch Oprah's conversation with Dr. Angelou Sunday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on OWN and online.
By the time I was
twenty-two, I was living in San Francisco. I had a five-year-old son,
two jobs, and two rented rooms, with cooking privileges down the hall.
My landlady, Mrs. Jefferson, was kind and grandmotherly. She was a ready
babysitter and insisted on providing dinner for her tenants. Her ways
were so tender and her personality so sweet that no one was mean enough
to discourage her disastrous culinary exploits. Spaghetti at her table,
which was offered at least three times a week, was a mysterious red,
white, and brown concoction. We would occasionally encounter an
unidentifiable piece of meat hidden among the pasta. There was no money
in my budget for restaurant food, so I and my son, Guy, were always
loyal, if often unhappy, diners at Chez Jefferson.
My mother had moved into another large Victorian house, on Fulton Street, which she again filled with Gothic, heavily carved furniture. The upholstery on the sofa and occasional chairs was red-wine-colored mohair. Oriental rugs were placed throughout the house. She had a live-in employee, Poppa, who cleaned the house and sometimes filled in as cook helper. Mother picked up Guy twice a week and took him to her house, where she fed him peaches and cream and hot dogs, but I only went to Fulton Street once a month and at an agreed-upon time. She understood and encouraged my self-reliance and I looked forward eagerly to our standing appointment. On the occasion, she would cook one of my favorite dishes. One lunch date stands out in my mind. I call it Vivian's Red Rice Day. When I arrived at the Fulton Street house my mother was dressed beautifully. Her makeup was perfect and she wore good jewelry. After we embraced, I washed my hands and we walked through her formal, dark dining room and into the large, bright kitchen. Much of lunch was already on the kitchen table. Vivian Baxter was very serious about her delicious meals. On that long-ago Red Rice Day, my mother had offered me a crispy, dry-roasted capon, no dressing or gravy, and a simple lettuce salad, no tomatoes or cucumbers. A wide-mouthed bowl covered with a platter sat next to her plate. She fervently blessed the food with a brief prayer and put her left hand on the platter and her right on the bowl. She turned the dishes over and gently loosened the bowl from its contents and revealed a tall mound of glistening red rice (my favorite food in the entire world) decorated with finely minced parsley and green stalks of scallions. The chicken and salad do not feature so prominently in my tastebuds' memory, but each grain of red rice is emblazoned on the surface of my tongue forever.

Fort McClary
Fort McClary
The renovated blockhouse of Fort McClary, dating from 1844, which now serves as a museum
Location | Off ME 103 near Fort McClary State Park |
Nearest city | Kittery Point, Maine |
Coordinates | 43°04′54″N 70°42′34″W / 43.0817°N 70.7094°WCoordinates: 43°04′54″N 70°42′34″W / 43.0817°N 70.7094°W |
NRHP Reference # | 69000025 |
Added to NRHP | October 1, 1969 |
Fort McClary is a former defensive fortification of the United States military located along the southern coast of Maine at Kittery Point. Built at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, it was used primarily throughout the 19th century to protect approaches to the harbor of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and its U.S. naval shipyard.
The property and its surviving structures, including a blockhouse dating from 1844, are now owned and operated by the State of Maine as Fort McClary State Historic Site.
Coastal defenses on the site date to the late 17th century, when local shipbuilder William Pepperell acquired the property and erected crude defense works in 1689. In 1715 the Massachusetts Bay Colony voted to erect a permanent breastwork of six guns for the defense of the Piscataqua River. The fort itself was officially established in 1808 and named for New Hampshire native Major Andrew McClary, an American officer killed in the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill. The fort was used throughout the 19th century, most notably during the War of 1812, as well as during the American Civil War, during which time Vice President of the United States Hannibal Hamlin enlisted in the Maine Coast Guards and served as a cook in the fort. It saw little action during these conflicts.
By the 1910s, most of the fort had fallen into disrepair and it was officially decommissioned in 1918. The State of Maine acquired most the property from the federal government in 1924, after which time it was managed as a park. Several of the dilapidated structures were demolished in the following decades. During World War II, surviving parts of the fort were used by civilian defense forces. In 1969, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The surviving blockhouse and other structures were renovated in 1987. The 1844 blockhouse serves as a museum.

The Wisconsin governor may have never expected such support of collective bargaining when he proposed removing it for public employees. Jim Schmitz, director of organizing for AFSCME, discusses what this means for the future of labor.
By David Whitford, editor-at-large
Until recently, a lot of people in America probably thought that labor unions were basically extinct. Then last month, Wisconsin's Republican Governor Scott Walker introduced legislation in his state that would drastically curtail the power of public employee unions by eliminating their ability to collectively bargain. Teachers, firemen, and other public employees -- along with their supporters -- took to the streets and the Democratic opposition in the state senate decamped to Illinois to prevent a quorum. Suddenly, unexpectedly, people are not only talking about unions again, but most of them are saying nice things.
Jim Schmitz is director of organizing for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union, the big public-sector union at the heart of the crisis in Wisconsin. Although the Democrats are now heading back to Madison for the vote, the labor debate is far from over. Fortune caught up with Schmitz last week for his thoughts on the future of the labor movement and how it's been buoyed by Walker's proposal. More

Scene: the palace of Herod, Tetrarch of Judea in Jerusalem
Time: the reign of Herod Antis II.
The young Syrian captain Narraboth is longingly watching Princess Salome revelling in the stateroom with Herod and his guests. His friend the page to Herodias is talking about some strange and dreadful tension. His prophesying words suggest some awful tragedy. Salome, longing for fresh air, walks out to the terrace where she takes notice of a voice coming from below the earth, that of Jokanaan the prophet shut up in a cistern used as prison. The princess entreats Narraboth until he has the cistern opened, thus breaking Herod's definite order. The prophet appears with a pale face and blazing eyes. Salome falls in love with him at first sight. Regardless of his abusive words about King Herod, his wife Herodias and the shallow life of their court she desires Jokanaan's kiss more and more eagerly. Jokanaan tries to divert Salome from her mad desire in vain: the girl claims his love more and more impatiently. In the end the prophet curses Salome and returns to his prison. Narraboth, who is in love with the princess, is unable to bear her passionate words and kills himself with his sword. Herod, keeping an eye on Salome, perceives her absence and sets out to find her. He steps into a pool of blood on the terrace and discovers the body of his faithful officer to his utter horror. His agitation soon passes: he asks for more wine and tries to persuade Salome to dance for him. The princess shows reluctance for a long time. She yields only when Herod promises to fulfil whatever she wishes in return. Salome is getting ready for the dance of the seven veils. Watching the dance in growing excitement, Herod urges Salome to tell him her wish. Salome answers simply. "I want the head of Jokanaan!" Though under the strong influence of wine, Herod knows that a lot of people look upon the prophet as a saint and he does his best to dissuade Salome from her mad intention. He promises her wonderful rare peacocks, then fabulous treasures and finally - to the righteous indignation of the jews - the curtain of the Ark of the Covenant. Salome remains firm. Her wish is backed by her mother Herodias, who has long hated the prophet for cursing her all the time. Bound by his promise, Herod eventually orders Salome's wish to be fulfilled. A terrible silence of suspense follows: everybody watches the executioner descend into the cistern breathlessly. The composer illustrates the fearful atmosphere with a frightening orchestral effect, the unusually high tones of the doublebass. In the end the executioner hands Salome the head of the prophet on a silver tray. The outer world ceases to exist for Salome. She lives for nothing but to fulfil her mad desire that is to kiss the dead man's lips. Herod himself is unable to bear the sight. He shouts at his soldiers, "Kill that woman!" The guards bury Salome beneath their shields.

Discussion on My Hasbro Blaster mod within the Boba Fett Costume forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; Hi out there I shot a Hasbro Blaster and tried
That's really cool...I think I'll pick one up just to have one! Did you simply extend the stock and do a paint job?
Thank you guys !
Yes, I extend the stock and carved the four pieces out, which I later attached to the new stock.
First I thought about using a new grip, but the original Hasbro one fit quite well, so I decided against replacing it.
At last I did a new paint job on the Blaster and added some weathering, thats it.
Great mod, looks cool
what exactly did you do to the stock?
I was wondering if modding one of these was possible....at least for a custom Mando anyways.
Nice Work - I have just bought a hasbro one off ebay (already sprayed black) but I really like the idea of extending the stock! Thanks
I picked up a has to unit as well. How did you paint it without spraying onto the clear deflector on the inside? I've tried to take mine apart and it has a ton of screws in it. Did you prime it first? It looks pretty cool for a spare blaster.

We can't say we won't miss the fun of seeing Warren and Willis going back and forth alone onstage, but the additions of guitarists Toshi Kasai (back in 2009) and Scott Martin can only make the Big Business ship that much more devastating live. The band's albums, Head for the Shallow, Here Come the Waterworks and Mind the Drift, are meaty slabs of Cream-y Melvins-style madness, which can be explained by the fact that Warren and Willis now do double duty in Big Biz and the Melvins whenever the latter's Buzz Osborne rolls his old girl into the studio and onto the road.

Transcript: Testimony by Irene Huerta on California's solitary confinement policies before the Committee on Public Safety on Feb. 25, 2013
Partial transcript of testimony by Irene Huerta, wife of an inmate at Pelican Bay's Secure Housing Unit, before the California Assembly Committee on Public Safety on Feb. 25, 2013:
Good afternoon. Thank you for assembling here today, Mr. Chair, in order to discuss the changes the CDC began to implement following the Pelican Bay protests of 2011. I feel that it's crucial that CDC is closely monitored while they are implementing new policies and procedures.
I myself, like many, have been at the mercy of CDC along with my husband, who has courageously suffered two hunger strikes to expose the horrendous, de-humanizing experience of solitary confinement under the control of CDC.
In 1983, my husband was judged by his peers and found guilty and sentenced. Gabriel Huerta [sp] has been in solitary confinement since 1986 initially for an alleged memorandum that connected him to a prison gang. This memorandum has never been produced.
My husband and I both acknowledge the sentence he was given. He had every intention in serving his time. However, we did not know that his rights as an American citizen and inalienable human rights stripped from him at every turn. Our issue is not about doing time. The concern is how he's doing the time.
My husband often writes to me about the torture of isolation. His letters have expressed desperation to the point of himself comfortably numb.
He states, "Many people may not know what it's like to be isolated for so long. The way that we've been here and I would say that it's like being locked in the trunk of a car with just enough weather stripping removed so you can breathe and with enough food and water stuffed in everyday inside so that you can physically survive. You're soon going to realize what it actually means when it said that we're social beings. You're going to crave social interaction and human contact…Just like the Pink Floyd song says "Hey you out there beyond the walls, can you hear me?" And yet every time you talk, every time you act like a human being and interact with other human beings, you're told that it's a gang activity and you have to stay another 6 years now before your next review."
These are the written words of my husband who has been in solitary confinement for 28 years.
And I'm not speaking solely for the benefit of my husband but for countless men and women in SHU and their family members.
What I'm trying to convey as a story, which happens to be a similar story for the thousands of others who have been inputed as gang members and associates, on the rare occasion that I and other family members are allowed to visit, which is a 1,500 round-trip, the SHU inmates are transferred from one confined space to another, are placed in a 4 by 4 room where we must visit behind glass for a maximum of 1 hour and 45 minutes.
The CDC has made the determination that my husband is one of the dangerous gangs – the worst of the worst. What role has CDC been given in educational training to make an evaluation of my husband or thousands of others the worst of the worst?
These are our loved ones.
Since CDC's assessment, my husband and I have been under examination. I have had my letters viewed without reason or provocation. I have had to write several appeals for reason unbeknownst to me.
During my frustration, my husband wrote, "This is all designed in an effort to frustrate and disrupt any bonds with family members or friends on the outside."
Under the new step-down program, he would have to serve 4 more years as an alleged gang member, which he has already served 28.
What type of rehabilitation can be done under these types of living conditions? The damage that have been done by these type of confinement cannot be determined. Long-term isolation is torture.
I refuse to use the R in CDCR because there is no meaningful rehabilitation programs for SHU.
In talking with family members and hearing from other loved ones in Pelican Bay SHU, we agree the new regulations in the step-down program make it harder for them to get out of solitary confinement, especially those that the IGI has labelled as gang members.
Even though the LA Times did write an article of recent releases to general population, none of our loved ones in Pelican Bay have heard or seen any of the reviews or the releases, and when they ask the guards especially during hearings, they were always told they don't know anything about it.
Here's just some of what we've heard to the responses: Prisoners validated as a Security Threat Group prison gang members will continue to subject to automatic SHU confinement solely based on their validation. A formal charge of gang-related misconduct doesn't have to be filed and a formal hearing doesn't have to take place to determine guilt or innocence per their preponderance of federal evidence standards as required by CDCR's formal rule violation hearing process.
Inmates are saying the only way out of SHU is to grow old, die, go insane, debrief, or successfully complete the 4-year minimum step-down program. Those who have already been in for decades don't need to prove themselves any longer, especially for those who have been in [SHU] for years and who have educated and better themselves, determination to survive in what they call a hell hole.
There's no independent oversight for IGI or OCS; no internal policy mechanism to make sure that decisions are fair and accurate or objective.
The pilot program establishes the minimum but no maximum time in SHU doesn't guarantee an inmate will complete the process in 4 years or automatically get out of the SHU even after 4 years.
If CDC is serious about meaningful reform and rehabilitation, family contact to maintain healthy family bond. Now we ask to be allowed a minimum to have one phone call a month, extended SHU visits contact, more efficient queue processing since we are coming from a long distance.
And in closing, all we are asking is for our loved ones to be treated like human beings.

Dante Marioni's flawlessly executed blown glass forms are intensely individual and instantly recognizable, combining a deep reverence for the history and tradition of glassmaking with a masterful, and distinctly modern, sense of design. Born in Mill Valley, CA in 1964, he studied glassblowing at Pilchuck School and Penland School of Crafts in the mid 1980's. By the late 1980's he was exhibiting in major glass galleries and group exhibitions at museums such as the Bellevue Arts Museum in Washington and the American Craft Museum in New York. Dante''s blown glass work is strongly influenced in its form and cane work by the Venetian tradition, yet has a distinctive style all its own. His works can be found in major collections and museums throughout the world, including the Corning Museum of Glass, the Chrysler Museum, the New Zealand National Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institute, and the Yokohama Museum of Art.

At long last the first show of the Australasia Tour is here, at a walled in outdoor area at the Lapangan Senayan Stadium in Jakarta. It rained quite a bit today so the grounds are quite wet and muddy (say goodbye to your shoes), but now the skies have cleared for the evening and the people have flooded in, and they are clearly ultra excited and ready to rock. It's about time we did this!
Outside the show area they set up a side stage where local bands have been entertaining the crowds before the main gates opened (and continue to till weezer starts), plus they had a giant weezer display that people have been taking their picture with while waiting to rock out. The vibes are great, the local staff has been super helpful, the tech people and our crew have been kicking ass and everything is ready to go - its time for the band and the crowd to join up for some magic. Thank you Indonesia!!!
fan shot video of tonight's "Say It Aint So":
last nite was awesome, thanx guys..
everythings are perfect, thank you for the amazing performance .... keep come back will ya! Love you all
it was a great show, thank you weezer, keep rockin

In a remote Mexican bay, you can touch a forty-ton gray, watch her lovely, enormous baby rub playfully against your boat, and ponder the mysteries of the natural world.
If you think there are bargains on the border, you won't believe what you'll find seven hundred miles south in three tiny Mexican towns.
Until recently, I couldn't. Then I enrolled in language school in the charming Mexican town of Guanajuato, and two weeks later I was comfortably conversant in español.
After Liz and Dick put it on the map, Puerto Vallarta went glitzy. But the old romantic allure is still there—if you know where to find it.
Before my tortuous trek through the Peruvian Andes to Machu Picchu, I was told I'd be changed by the experience. And, indeed, the spirits moved me.
When the San Antonio River's downtown stretches are drained for a week each January, the crowds may ebb too. But it's a perfect time to discover the waterway's more natural side.
High in the Mexican mountains and only a day's drive from Texas lies El Cielo, a stunning cloud forest where exotic birds soar but the temperature doesn't.
Acapulco used to be a favorite destination of beautiful people from Texas and elsewhere. It still should be.
Three great hotels on the Pacific coast of Mexico where you can do just about anything or nothing at all.
Manageable crowds. Fabulous food. Great music. Authentic Cajun culture. Do you need any other reasons to visit Lafayette, Louisiana?
