The Phils increased their winning streak to three games as they defeat the Marlins in extra-innings, 3-1.
The Phils reached .500 as they increase their winning streak to three-games as they defeat the last place Marlins, 3-1.
The Phils broke up a o-o tie in the top of the sixth as, with a runner on third, and with two men out, Dom Brown hits an RBI double, knocking in Ryan Howard, who had earlier doubled, then moved up to third base on Michael Young's ground out, 6-3, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead. The Marlins would tie the game up at one-all in their half of the sixth as, with a runner on second, and with two men out, Placido Polanco hits an RBI single, knocking in Juan Pierre, who had earlier been hit by the pitch, then moved up to second base on Donovan Solano's ground out, 6-3. The score would stay tie until the top of the tenth as the Phils had a man on first, with two men out, as Chase Utley hits an RBI triple, knocking in Ben Revere, who had earlier singled, giving the Phils a 2-1 lead. The Phils increased their lead two batters later, after Howard is intentionally walked to put runners on first and third, and with still two men out, Young hits an RBI infield single, knocking in Utley, as Marlins' shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria is unable to force out Howard at second base, giving the Phils a 3-1 lead. That would be the final score as Jonathan Papelbon recorded his second save of the year by pitching a 1-2-3 inning.
John Lannan received a no-decision as he pitched six innings, giving up a run on three hits, a walk and a hit batter, while striking out two Marlins, as he threw his second straight quality start. Antonio Bastardo and Mike Adams combined for two scoreless innings, giving up a hit (Adams) and a walk (Adams) between them, while striking out three (Bastardo). Phillippe Aumont (1-0 0.00) got the win, the first win of his career, as he pitched a scoreless inning, walking a batter. Jonathan Papelbon recorded his second save of the season as he pitched a 1-2-3 inning. Ricky Nolasco also received a no-decision as he went six innings, giving up a run on seven hits and a walk, as he struck out a batter. A.J. Ramos, Mike Dunn and Steve Cishek combined for three 1-2-3 innings, striking out two batters (Ramos (1), Cishek (1)) between them. Jon Rauch (0-1, 6.23) took the lost as he pitched an inning, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk, striking out a batter.
The Phils had ten hits, with Ben Revere (Singles), Ryan Howard (Doubles) and Dom Brown (Single, Double, RBI) all leading the team with two hits each. Chase Utley (Triple, RBI), Michael Young (Single, RBI), Erik Kratz (Single) and John Lannan (Double) had the other four Phils' hits. The Phils also had two walks, both intentional (Laynce Nix, Howard) in the game.
The Phils (5-5, 4th) continue their series with the Marlins (1-9, 5th) with a night game tonight. The game will be played at Marlins Park and is to start at 7:10 pm EDT. The Phils will send to the mound their ace Cole Hamels (0-2, 10.97), who is coming off a lost against the Royals on April 7, as he pitched five and two-thirds innings, giving up eight runs on nine hits and four walks, as he struck out only two, in the Phils' 9-8 lost. Hamels will be going for his first win, as he hopes to regain his grove at the Marlins' expense. The Marlins plan to counter with Jose Fernandez (0-0, 1.80) as he came off a n0-decision against the Mets on April 7, as he threw five innings, giving up a run on three hits and a walk, while striking out eight, in the Marlins' 4-3 lost. He will be trying for his first major league victory. The Phils will be trying for their fourth straight win, while hoping that Hamels will finally come out of his present rut.
The Phils will begin a three-games series with the last place Marlins.
The Phils (4-5, 4th), after leaving Citizens Bank Park with their first series win of 2013, will start a three-games series with the last place Marlins (1-8, 5th), the team with presently the worst record in the National League. The game will be played at Marlins Park and will start at 7:10 EDT.
The Phils will put on the mound their fifth-game starter John Lannan (0-0, 3.86), who is coming off a rather good start against the Royals on April 6, in his first start as a Phil, as he went seven innings, giving up three runs on five hits, while striking out five, holding off the Royals until the Phils were able to make a comeback in the ninth inning to win the game by the score of 4-3. He will be trying to win his first start as a Phil, while trying to lead the club to their first three-game winning streak. The Marlins will counter with Ricky Nolasco (0-1, 3.97), who is making his third start of the season, as he comes off a no-decision against the Mets on April 6, as he went five and a third innings, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks, while striking out three, in the Marlins' 7-3 lost. He will once again be looking for his first win of the season, while the fish will be looking for their second win of 2013. The Phils will be trying to take advantage of the Marlins' early season woes, while trying to move up in the NL East standings, while trying to keep from falling any further behind the first place Braves.
After nine games, the Phils have three regulars with a .300 or better batting average, third baseman Michael Young (.375 (12 for 32)), second baseman Chase Utley (.333 (11 for 33)) and shortstop Jimmy Rollins (.316 (12 for 38)), with Utley presently leading the team with nine RBIs and is tied for the team's lead in home runs with two (tied with Dom Brown) and for the team's lead in triple with one (along with Young), while Rollins is the team's leader in doubles with five. Utley and Rollins are tied for second place in stolen bases with three each, both trailing Ben Revere, who presently has four. Rollins is tied for second in RBIs with five with both Ryan Howard and Brown, as they all trail Utley. Rollins, for now, is batting a lot better as the second batter in the Phils' line-up, looking like the Rollins of 2007-2008, while Utley appears to have gone back to what he was doing before his foot problems of the last two seasons (2011-2012). The biggest disappointment, at the moment, is Howard, who is presently batting (.200 (7 for 35)), despite him showing that he might have finally gotten it during spring training (.322 (28 for 87)), but seems to have gone back to swinging at the junk pitches of breaking balls out of the strike zone and high fastballs, as he have collected only one extra-base hit, a home run, as he has struck out a team leading twelve times. As long as he continue to go after the junk, opposing pitchers will not throw him any good pitches to hit, unless Young start to force them to start pitching to Howard by continuing to hit.
Cliff Lee just miss pitching a complete game as the Phils' bats come to life to beat the Mets, 8-3.
Cliff Lee is one out short of pitching a complete game as the Phils' bats wake up to rout the Mets, winning 8-3.
The Phils take the lead in the bottom of the second as, with runners on second and third, and with one man out, John Mayberry Jr. hits a two-run double, knocking in Michael Young, who had earlier singled, then stopped at third base on Dom Brown's single, and Brown, who had just singled, then moved up to second base on left fielder Lucas Duda's throwing error, giving the Phils a 2-0 lead. Two batters later, with Mayberry still on second base, and now with two men out, Cliff Lee helped his own cause with an RBI single to center, knocking in Mayberry, giving the Phils a 3-0 lead. The Phils then made it a 4-0 lead two batters later, after Ben Revere had hit a single, moving Lee up to second base, as Jimmy Rollins hits an RBI double, scoring Lee, while sending Revere on to third base. The Phils added to their lead in the bottom of the third as Ryan Howard hits a lead-off home run, his first home run of the season, giving the Phils a 5-0 lead. The Phils then took a 6-0 lead as Young followed Howard with a solo shot of his own, his first home run of the season, and his first as a Phil. Two batters later, with one man out, the Phils make it a 7-0 lead as Mayberry hits his own solo home run, his first home run of the season. The Mets got on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth as, with one man on, and with nobody out, John Buck hits a two-run home run, his fourth home run of the season, scoring David Wright, who had started the inning off by reaching base on Rollins' throwing error, making it a 7-2 Phils' lead. The Phils got one of the runs back in their half of the fourth as, with a runner on second, and with two men out, Young hits an RBI triple, knocking in Chase Utley, who had earlier walked, then stole second base, giving the Phils an 8-2 lead. The Mets got the run back in the top of the fifth as, with a man on third, and with one man out, Jordany Valdespin, after having first tripled, would score on catcher Erik Kratz's passed ball, making it an 8-3 Phils' lead. That would end up being the final score as Mike Adams would record the final out in the ninth by striking out Ruben Tejada looking.
Cliff Lee (2-0, 1.08) got the win as he pitched eight and two-thirds innings, giving up three runs, two of which were earned, on eight hits, while he struck out six. Mike Adams pitched a third of an inning, striking out the only man that he would face. Dillon Gee (0-2, 7.71) took the lost as he went just three innings, giving up seven runs on ten hits, as he struck out two. Greg Burke pitched two innings, giving up a run on a hit and a walk, as he struck out two. Scott Rice, LaTroy Hawkins and Brandon Lyon would combine for three scoreless innings, giving up a walk (Rice) between them, while striking out three (one batter each).
The Phils had eleven hits in the game, with Michael Young leading the team (Single, Triple, Home Run, 2 RBIs), being a double short of hitting the cycle, followed by John Mayberry, Jr. (Double, Home Run, 3 RBIs) with two hits. Ben Revere (Single), Jimmy Rollins (Double, RBI), Ryan Howard (Home Run, RBI), Dom Brown (Single), Erik Kratz (Single) and Cliff Lee (Single, RBI), had the other five Phils' hits. The Phils also had two walks (Chase Utley (2)) and two stolen bases (Utley (2 & 3)) in the game.
The Phils (3-5, 4th) will conclude their series with the Mets (5-3, 3rd) with a night game tonight. The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park and will start at 7:05 pm EDT. The Phils will send to the mound Kyle Kendrick (0-1, 7.94) who is coming off a bad start against the Royals on April 5, as he threw five and two-thirds innings. giving up five runs on eight hits and two walks, while striking out three, in the Phils' 13-4 lost. Kendrick will be trying to regain the form he had early in the game, before the floodgates suddenly opened. Jeremy Hefner (0-1, 1.50) will pitch for the Mets, as he is coming off a lost to the Marlins on April 5, as he threw six innings, giving up a run on five hits and two walks, as he struck out three, in the Mets' 7-5 lost. He will be trying to even his record while trying to give the Mets the series win. The Phils look to end the series with a win.
Cliff Lee's eight innnings of two-hit pitching help lead the Phils to their first win of 2013 as they blank the Braves, 2-0.
Eight scoreless innings by Cliff Lee help lead the Phils to their first victory of the 2013 season, as they beat the Braves, 2-0.
The Phils took the lead in the top of the second as, with the bases loaded, via a single by Laynce Nix, leading off the inning, a double by Erik Kratz, with Nix stopping at third base, and a walk to Cliff Lee, and with nobody out, Nix would score on Ben Revere's force out grounder to the shortstop, 6-4, for the inning's first out, as Lee is wiped out at second base, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead, as Kratz moved up to second base, and Revere is safe at first. The Phils increased their lead two batters later as, with the bases once again loaded, after Revere steals second base, and Jimmy Rollins gets on base with a walk, and with one man still out, Chase Utley hits a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Kratz, who beats the throw home, giving the Phils a 2-0 lead. That would end up being all the run the Phils would need as Lee would keep the Braves' offense under control for eight shutout innings, allowing only three men to reach base, a two-out single in the bottom of the second to Dan Uggla, a one-out single by Justin Upton in the bottom of the fourth, before he is wiped out on a 6-3 doubleplay grounder hit by Freddie Freeman, and Gerald Laird who, in the bottom of the sixth, lead off the inning by reaching base on a fielding error by Utley, before being left stranded. Jonathan Papelbon would then take over in the ninth and collect his first save of the season as he throws a 1-2-3 ninth.

The Phils (1-2, 4th NL East) begins their first series at home with an interleague series with the Royals (1-2, 5th AL Central) in a game already in progress.
The Phils have signed right-handed pitchers Aaron Cook and Juan Cruz to minor league deals, invited to spring training.
Yesterday, the Phils had announced that, along with Rodrigo Lopez, they have signed right-handed pitchers Aaron Cook and Juan Cruz to minor league deals and have given them invitations to spring training, as they continue to add depth to their pitching staff.
Aaron Cook, who had spent part of 2012 pitching for the Boston Red Sox, compiling a record of 4-11 with a 5.65 ERA and a WHIP of 1.47 in 18 starts, in which he pitched in 94 innings, allowing 117 hits and 68 runs, 59 of which were earned, as he struck out 20 batters, while walking 21. Before joining the Red Sex, he had spent 10 years playing for the Colorado Rockies, compiling a career record of 76-79 with an ERA of 4.60 and a WHIP of 1.47, as he pitched in 256 games, 224 of which were starts, as he threw a total of 1406 and a third innings, giving up 1636 hits and 776 runs, of which 716 were earned, as he struck out 578 batters, while allowing 126 free passes.
Juan Cruz, who in 12 seasons have pitched in relief for the Chicago Cubs, the Atlanta Braves, the Oakland Athletics, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Kansas City Royals, and the Tampa Bay Rays, spent 2012 pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates, appearing in 43 games, going 1-1 with three saves in four save opportunities, as he compiled an ERA of 2.78 and a WHIP of 1.63, as he allowed 39 hits and 12 runs, all but one of which were earned, while he struck out 33 batters, while walking only 19. Cruz would compile a career record of 38-36, along with 6 saves in nineteen save opportunities, as he pitched in 447 games, all but 38 of which were in relief, as he appeared in 655 total innings, compiling an ERA of 4.05 and a WHIP of 1.41, as he gave up 576 hits, as 332 runners scored, 295 of which were earned, as he struck out 659 batters, while walking 346.
Both pitchers will more than likely end up pitching for the Phils' triple-A ballclub, the Iron Pigs, unless somebody on the staff gets hurt during the season.
The Phils have made several changes towards the end of 2012, which they hope will lead them back into the payoffs in 2013.
First off, I would like to take the time to say, Happy New Year's, folks. Second, sorry for the lack of posts, but, I got too busy with other things to get myself in gear to do new posts. But, I now got the time, and boy, do I have a lot to cover, as the Phils made some wheeling and dealing and small-scale free agent signings which they hope will put them into position to get back into the playoffs this upcoming October.
First, in the Rule Five Draft they picked up outfielder Ender Inciarte from the Arizona Diamondbacks, whom they hope will anchor centerfield in a few seasons, while drafting in the Triple-A Phase of the draft right-handed pitcher Brendan Lafferty from the Kansas City Royals organization, while not losing a player to the draft.
On the same day, December 6, they made a trade with the Minnesota Twins, getting centerfielder Paul Revere, in exchange for minor league right-handed pitching prospect Trevor May and, coming as a complete surprise to most, right-handed starter Vance Worley. Revere, who appeared in 124 games for the Twins, batted .294 (150 for 511), hitting 13 doubles and 6 triples, as he scored 70 times, while knocking in 32. He had also stole 40 bases, ranking him third in the AL for 2012, being caught just 9 times. May spent 2012 pitching for the Reading Phillies (now the Fighting Phillies). Worley, who was placed on the disabled list towards the end of the 2012 season, before having an operation to remove bone chips from his elbow, would pitch in 23 games for the Phils before being shut down, all starts, as he collected a 6-9 record, with a 4.20 ERA and a WHIP of 1.51, as he pitched in 133 innings, giving up 154 hits and 69 runs, 62 of which were earned, as he struck out 107 batters, while walking only 47. Sorry to see you go, Vance, and I wish you luck in Minnesota, as long as you don't pitch against the Phils. And, welcome to the team, Paul. I hope you'll enjoy your stay here.
Then, on December 8, the Phils announced that they had made another trade, this one with the Texas Rangers, as they brought in Michael Young to take over duties at third base, in exchange for right-handed relief pitcher Josh Lindblom and pitching prospect Lisalverto Bonilla. Michael Young, who has also played first base, second base and shortstop, appeared in 156 games for the former American League Champs (2010-11) batting .277 (169 for 611), as he hit 27 doubles, 3 triples and 8 home runs during the season, knocking in 67 runs, while scoring 79 times. He also walked 33 times. Josh Lindblom, who had started the 2012 season pitching relief for the Los Angeles before being traded to the Phils as part of a trade involving Shane Victorino, appeared in 74 games for both clubs, all in relief, posting a combined record of 3-5 with one save in four save opportunities, as he fielded an ERA of 3.55 and a WHIP of 1.35. He pitched in 71 innings, allowing 61 hits and 31 runs to score, of which 28 were earned. He walked 35 batters while striking out 70. Bonilla spent 2012 pitching for Clearwater and then Reading in the Phils' farm system. Welcome to the team, Michael. I hope that you can help the team via both your bat and your glove, especially the later, as it looks like you may not just be covering the hot corner of third base during the season.
After the two trades, the Phils then made a pair of minor free agent signings, both pitchers, one a reliever and the other a starter. First, they signed to a two-years, $12 million dollars contract, with relief pitcher Mike Adams, formerly of the Rangers, who will be acting as the eight-inning bridge to Jonathan Papelbon, as he plans to take over an inning that was a major problem for the ballclub all season long. For the Rangers, Adams pitched in 61 games, compiling a 5-3 record with a 3.27 ERA and a WHIP of 1.39, as well as collecting a save in two save attempts. He would pitch in 52 and a third innings, giving up 56 hits and 21 runs, 19 of which were earned, as he struck out 45 batters, while walking only 17. The Phils then signed former Washington Nationals' starter John Lannan, who is to become the Phils' fifth starter, to replace Worley in the rotation, to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million dollars. Lannan, who had spent his entire career with the Nats, before becoming a free agent, appeared in only six games last year, all of them starts, as he compiled a record of 4-1 with a 4.13 ERA and a WHIP of 1.44, as he pitched a total of 32 and two-thirds innings, giving up 33 hits and 15 runs, all earned. He struck out 17 batters, while walking 14. During his six seasons with the Nats, Lannan had a win-lost record of 42-52, as he compiled an ERA of 4.01 and a career WHIP of 1.42, as he pitched a total of 783 and two-thirds innings, while appearing in 134 games, all starts. He would give up a total of 820 hits, as opponents scored 393 times, with 349 of those runs being earned. He would strikeout a total of 410 batters, while walking just 296. Welcome to the ballclub, guys. I hope that you two were worth the money spent.
The Phils have during the month mention that they would like to add a veteran corner outfielder, either via free agent signing or another trade, but it looks like they have the club they want before they enter spring training next month. I'm just hoping this team will improve on their third place finish last year.
Raul Ibanez have signed a one-year deal with the Yankees, as a DH.
The New York Yankees have announced earlier today that they have signed former Phil Raul Ibanez to a one-year, $1.1 million dollars contract, as a designated hitter.
Ibanez, who was the Phils' left fielder for 2009-11, last year played in 144 games, hitting .245 (131 for 535), hitting 31 doubles, 1 triple and 20 home runs, knocking in 84 RBIs, while scoring 65 runs. During a 16-years career, while includes stints with the Seattle Mariners (two) and the Kansas City Royals, Ibanez would appear in 1817 games, hitting .280 (1791 for 6387), including 377 doubles, 43 triples and 252 home runs, as he knocked in 1054 runs, while scoring 928. He also has a career slugging percentage of .471 and a career on-base percentage of .342. As he joins the Yankees, Ibanez is expected to be their left-handed designated hitter, while also adding some depths to their outfield.
With the signing, as far as the Phils are concerned, it should give them a draft pick based on Ibanez's free agent status.
Wish you luck with the Yanks, Raul.
Cliff Lee throws his second straight complete game shutout as he six-hit the Cards in the 4-0 Phils win.
Two home runs support a six-hit complete game shutout thrown by Cliff Lee, his second in two straight starts, as the Phils defeat the Cards, 4-0.
The Phils took the lead in the fourth as Jimmy Rollins hits a lead-off home run, his seventh home run of the season, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead. Three batters later, with one man on, and with one man out, the Phils took a 3-0 lead as Ryan Howard hits a two-run home run, his sixteenth home run of the season, scoring Chase Utley, who had just singled. The Phils then took a 4-0 lead in the ninth as, with one man on, and with one man out, Utley hits a sacrifice fly, knocking in Shane Victorino, who had earlier tripled. That would be all the runs support that Cliff Lee would need as he proceeded to pitch a six-hit complete game shut out, his second straight complete game shutout.
Cliff Lee (8-5, 2.87) got the win as he pitched a complete game shutout, giving up just six hits and a walk, while striking out only three batters. Kyle Lohse (7-4, 2.91) took the lost as he pitched eight innings, giving up four runs on seven hits. Mitchell Boggs pitched an inning, giving up a run on a hit, as he struck out one.
The Phils had eight hits in the ballgame, with Jimmy R0llins (Single, Home Run, RBI) and Ryan Howard (Single, Home Run, 2 RBIs) both leading the team with two hits each. Shane Victorino (Triple), Chase Utley (Single, RBI), Placido Polanco (Single) and Carlos Ruiz (Single) had the other four Phils' hits.
The Phils (47-28, 1st East) will conclude their three-game series with the Cards (40-35, 2nd Central) with a night game at Busch Stadium (III). The game will start at 8:15 pm EDT (7:15 pm CDT). The Phils will send to the mound Roy Oswalt (4-5, 3.38) , who is coming off a lost against the Mariners on June 17, as he went six and a third innings, giving up four runs on eight hits and a walk, while striking out just three, in the Phils' 4-2 lost. He will be trying to even up his record, while also trying to pitch the Phils to their second sweep in their last three series. The Cards will counter with Chris Carpenter (1-7, 4.47), who is coming off a lost against the Royals on June 17, as he pitched eight innings, giving up five runs, four of which were earned, on ten hits and a walk, while striking out seven, in the Cards' 5-4 lost. He will be trying to keep the Cards from being swept by the Phils. The Phils will be going for the series sweep, before coming home to face the Athletics during the weekend.
The Phils have hired Juan Samuel as their new third base coach. Huh?!?
Samuel joins Phillies as third-base coach
By Todd Zolecki / MLB.com
Wait, I thought that he was going for Davey Lopes' job???
PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies announced on Thursday they have hired Juan Samuel to be their third-base coach and outfield instructor.
Sam Perlozzo, who served as the team's third-base coach the previous two seasons, will move from third to first base and handle the club's baserunning instruction. The Phillies hired Samuel because Davey Lopes, who handled the team's outfield and baserunning duties as first-base coach the previous four seasons, left the organization following a stalemate during contract negotiations.
Samuel and Perlozzo join pitching coach Rich Dubee, hitting coach Greg Gross, bench coach Pete Mackanin and bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer on the 2011 coaching staff.
"I feel fortunate that we were able to add someone of Juan's stature to our coaching staff," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said in a statement. "He was a tremendous Major League player and a big part of Phillies history, and I'm looking forward to him passing on his knowledge of the game to our players. He's a great addition to our organization."
There were indications Samuel would return to Baltimore next season as its third-base coach, but the sides never finalized a deal, and the Phillies wooed him to Philadelphia.
Samuel, 49, was the Orioles' third-base coach from 2007-10. He also served as interim manager this season after the Orioles dismissed Dave Trembley. Samuel also served as a first- and third-base coach with the Detroit Tigers (1999-2005).
Samuel, a three-time National League All-Star, played with the Phillies from 1983-89 and was inducted into the organization's Wall of Fame in 2008. He hit .259 with 161 home runs, 703 RBIs and 396 stolen bases in 1,720 games for the Phillies, Mets, Dodgers, Royals, Reds, Tigers and Blue Jays.
He is the 34th man in franchise history to both play and coach for the Phillies.

Okay. Let me get this straight: Juan is joining the staff to replace Davey Lopes, but, he is going to be the team's third-base, not first-base, coach, and will also work with the outfielders, while Sam Perlozzo will now become the team's first-base coach and will be handling the baserunning duties?!? Anyone else besides me confused by this arrangement? Okay, guys, you better know what you're doing since I think Juan should be the one handling the baserunning duties and vice versa. I'll guess we'll all see how it works out during the '11 season.
With that said, welcome back, Juan.

Not too many places to look. We looked and came up empty. I wonder if they know the sign is down. Need stronger pipes.

Hop Rising
Hop Rising is a Double IPA brewed by Squatters Craft Beers out of Salt Lake City, Utah. It's a malty, hoppy, and strong beer coming in at 9%. I wish hops were as large as this in real life. (Plot twist: Or maybe that is a tiny man harvesting accurately sized hops!)
Porkslap Pale Ale is brewed by Butternuts in Garrattsville, NY. I first had this beer back in 2007 at a NYC beer festival. I hadn't heard of the brewery back then and I loved it so much that the man at the table let me sneak a couple unopened cans home with me. I'd say it still holds up to this day as an easy drinking session beer (4.3% ABV) with a tiny hint of spice to it.
Pumpkin Lager
This pumpkin brew comes from Blue Hills Brewery in Canton, MA and I instantly fell in love with the spooky label. The beer tastes more like pure pumpkin than other pumpkin beers out there, so don't go looking for a Pumking type beer or you'll be sorely disappointed. It paired perfectly with our squash soup at dinner, one of the best beer/food pairings I've ever tasted.
Count Orlok
This black pumpkin wheat ale is brewed by Urban Chestnut Brewing Co. out of St. Louis. I've only had this one beer by the brewery but it stood its own against 27 other beers in our blind pumpkin beer taste test this year. Plus, have you ever seen the 1922 silent film, "Nosferatu" that the label is based off of? It's a damn creepy movie that holds up remarkably well to this day.
Tis the pumpkin season and this beer is one of my favorites. In fact, we rated it the 2nd best out of a blind taste test we had a few years back involving 20 different pumpkin beers from 19 breweries and 7 friends/judges. Pumking is an Imperial pumpkin beer brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Co. out of Lakewood, New York.
Twisted Helles
This beer is a simple but good summer time lager by Frankenmuth Brewery in Michigan. I was drawn to the nice and very clean can design and I think it reflects the beer's mellow taste with a slight hint of lemon. Nuthin' fancy here but it fits my summer mindset. They say it was inspired by Michigan summers but it seemed to wrap up my summer in Boston quite well. And with that said, I shall now brace myself for pumpkin beer season…!
Abbey Ale
Abbey Ale is a great Dubbel ale brewed by Ommegang Brewery out of Cooperstown, New York. Lots of dark fruit, raisins and spices come through at the beginning and then ultimately mix and conclude in a deep sweet aftertaste. One sip of this complex beer and you'll know why these monks are dancing.
Zombie Dust
Zombie Dust by Three Floyds Brewing Company in Indiana is a deliciously balanced Pale Ale (some might be tempted to call it an IPA) with a fantastic crisp hop taste. I wish we had more than just 1 of these to drink that day. I also wish they distributed here to MA. Perhaps a Dark Lord Day trip is in order…
Cahoots is a Double Rye IPA and is part of the Crooked Line by Uinta Brewing Company out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I absolutely love their Detour IPA so when I saw this new beer on the shelf I thought, "who wouldn't want to drink beer with a couple owls?" I'm glad to say that it didn't disappoint!

Arrived in specified time which was amazing considering it was the holidays. Love the color and texture of the panels. However, 1 panel had a small flaw in it, resulting in a tiny hole. Not a big deal as it is hidden by the folds in the fabric. This is the only reason I am rating 4 stars and not 5.
Even though these are marketed and described as blackout curtains, they are certainly not blackout drapes! I purchased the sage/green ones, and they are see-through. The material is very thin, there is no backing, and there are "holes" in the material so that you can clearly see through them. The blackout descriptor is totally false. You will regret purchasing these. Unfortunately, there are few grommet drapes of this 63-inch size that I needed. Don't purchase these!
Not fully blackout, can see some light between stitching, but does nearly completely darken room. Gets the job done.
These curtains are satisfactory. They have a LOT of hanging threads but, it did prove my point once-again... you get what you pay for most of the time.

Just days after Colombia's rural land agency announced that farm families formerly displaced and evicted from the Las Pavas estate should be given titles to some of its plots, palm oil company employees threatened and assaulted some of them.
Far greater than the threat of forty accusing soldiers camped on your land is God's abounding goodness and the communion of neighbors.
Pray with CPT for Colombia's Las Pavas community as it continues to receive threats and attacks from the palm oil company and little more than lip service from the Colombian Government. May God send them a spirit of protection.
With faith and living hope, communities hold on,waiting for justice to come, after making their caseto the responsible institutions.But not all give them a hearing, not all an appropriate response.
Peasant leaders gathered in Meddelin to sharpen analysis and develop strategies to defend their rights to life and land find unexpected urban allies in the process.
Hundreds of Chicagoans, including a U.S. senator, hear the calls of Colombian women for rule of law and respect for court-recognized land rights. At stake is whether officials will honor their commitments to return ill-gotten land to those displaced from it and protect both people and land from corporate predation.
CPTers are there at the side of peacemaking partners laying their lives on the line. In what way will you be a part of the action?
An oil palm grower that has operated on the contested land of Las Pavas for years is attempting to extend its plantation to areas legally designated for use by displaced farmers.
A ten-day government visit to the communities of Garzal and Nueva Esperanza to sort out competing land claims also uncovered illegal activity. CPT Colombia invites prayers for a peaceful and just resolution and safety from retaliatory actions against farmers.
PRAYERS FOR PEACEMAKERS, July 4, 2012
Pray with CPT for Don Salvador and other leaders of Garzal, a small community of hard-working Colombian farmers. They have led Garzal in the midst of death threats and the dangerous residue of a paramilitary drug trade.

John Curley is addicted to the Olympics
on August 7, 2012 @ 7:02 am (Updated: 11:18 am - 10/3/12 )TV ratings for the London Olympics are much higher than anyone expected, perhaps in part because KIRO's John Curley and his family just can't get enough.
"I don't know what it is. I guess it's the drama. It's the fact that everybody regardless of their ability to do even a cartwheel suddenly becomes an expert in the most obscure moves of having to do with the vault," Curley says.
That hit home for Curley watching the gymnastics competition during the past week with his aging father.
"Hey she didn't get the takeoff she needed, she needed better height on the takeoff," Curley laughs as he imitates his dad.
The KIRO host admits he's also shed a few tears as well, in large part because he's a self admitted "wimp."
Among the most emotional moments for Curley was during an interview with Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who stopped the conversation to recognize the playing of the United States national anthem.
Josh Kerns is an award winning reporter/anchor and host of KIRO Radio's Seattle Sounds (Sunday afternoons 5-6p) and a digital content producer for MyNorthwest.com.

In a joint Hammond Police Department and Homeland Security Investigation, a Morton High School math teacher has been accused in federal court of asking underage female students to text sexually explicit pictures of themselves to him by cellphone. Hammond Police Chief Brian Miller says the investigation continues, and says the department thinks there may be more people who have information on this case. Chief Miller says anyone with information on the case is asked to call Hammond Detective Sgt. Mark Biller at 219-852-2966. Chief Miller says the teacher identified as Jon Erik Lilly was taken into custody this week. Reports say investigation began when the mother of a 17-year-old girl suspected her daughter was sexually active with the man, who told officials he had been a teacher at Morton until very recently. Court documents also say he denied having sexual contact with the girl. A hearing was set for Friday.

Bielsa: Schalke win was never a given
Athletic Bilbao coach Marcelo Bielsa insists his side had to be careful against Schalke despite heading into Thursday's Europa League tie with a two-goal advantage.
Bilbao headed into the second leg of their quarter-final clash with a 4-2 advantage from last Thursday, and eventually booked their final-four spot after a 2-2 draw.
But while many believed the La Liga outfit were always favourites to progress, Bielsa insists it was never a given.
"To say it [the game] was more difficult than expected is to think that it could have been easy, and we never thought that this rival was going to be easy," the Argentinean said in his post-match press conference.
"The draw was fair, it was positive result."
"The beginning of the game was not comfortable for us. As time went on, we played better. Reacting quickly was key to stop the momentum of Schalke."
"At the start of the second half we did not count on them scoring a goal. After our second equaliser, we played well. The last half-hour from my point of view was good."
Bilbao will now meet Sporting Lisbon in the semi-finals, an encounter Bielsa is looking forward to.
"Portuguese football is very attractive and I am happy to compete with them [Sporting] as they belong to the hierarchy of football in the country," Bielsa added.
Bielsa was also asked at his post-match press conference about speculation linking him with a move to Inter Milan, but said only: "In these kind of issues it seems prudent to speak of bare facts and not hypothetical situations."
Bilbao are next in action on Sunday when they entertain Sevilla in La Liga.

Fans of ASUS' RT-N66U "Dark Knight" router have been chomping at the bit to know whether its first draft 802.11ac offering is a better choice. So let me cut to the chase and say that that the RT-AC66U is not the successor to the N66 that you are hoping for.
It's not that the AC66 is a bad router. It's just that it doesn't really provide enough benefit for most users (those with non-11ac devices) to outweigh the pain of its unstable firmware and higher price. Details, you say? Read on.
Physically, the AC66 is a dead ringer for its N66 sibling. If it were not for the labeling on the front and bottom panels, you would not be able to tell the difference between them. ASUS hasn't endowed the AC with a slick name either. Too bad, since I think "Dark Helmet" is available...
The callout diagram below taken from the User Manual shows the indicators, ports, connectors and switches, which are item-by-item the same as on the N version.
ASUS RT-AC66U panel callouts
As before, all ports are 10/100/1000 Mbps and there are two USB 2.0 ports for drive and printer sharing. A select number of USB WWAN modems are also supported that lets the router use 3G/4G networks as primary or backup internet sources.
ASUS seems to have a preference for 19V power supplies. The same diminutive wall-wart with its tiny connector plug used on the Dark Knight also powers the AC.
ASUS has delayed the release of internal photos, so I decided to open the AC up, even though I pretty much knew what was inside component-wise. Table 1 holds a summary of the AC66's key components along with those of the two other draft AC routers I've reviewed so far, NETGEAR's R6300 and Buffalo's WZR-D1800H and WLI-H4-D1300 bridge.
All three use the same Broadcom BCM4706 CPU. At 256 MB, the AC66U has double the memory of the other two routers, but the same amount of flash. The same 7 port Broadcom Gigabit switch is used in the Buffalo router, but NETGEAR opted for a smarter version.

Switch | Broadcom BCM53125 | Broadcom BCM53115 | Broadcom BCM53125 |

Table 1: Component summary
The same Broadcom BCM4331/BCM4360 radio SoCs are used in all three products. But the ASUS is the only one of the three to use dual-band external antennas vs. six internal single-band. This means the external circuitry connecting the radio SoCs to the antennas is different. It looks like the Skyworks 5 GHz amplifiers made it into ASUS' design. But the SiGE 2.4 GHz RF front-ends in the NETGEAR and Buffalo routers are replaced by other, discrete components.
The AC66 is as similar to the N66 on the inside as it is on the outside—at least the way it is constructed. The photo below shows the same full-width heatsink used on the N66 that is thermally coupled via thermal pads to two RF shielded compartments below it.

Slipping the assembly out of the case and flipping it over shows the bottom covered by a large plate similar to the one covering the N66's underside. I assume this plate serves as a heatsink since it was pretty warm, as was the outside bottom of the router.
ASUS RT-AC66U board bottom with plate
Removing the bottom plate revealed 128 MB of Samsung flash (K9F1G08U0D) and 2 MB of Macronix serial flash (25L1606E). There are no thermal pads connecting the plate to the board, so thermal connection must be made from board inner layers through the six metal standoffs that connect the plate to the board.

It took some work to remove the top heatsink and pry off the tops of the two RF "cans" to get the photo below. But was worth it to see the construction details. The left-side can in the photo below holds the CPU, RAM and switch, while the right can houses the radios and their associated parts. The BCM4360 5 GHz radio is toward the top of the photo; the BCM4331 2.4 GHz radio is toward the bottom.

Merlin firmware
I try many different wifi routers and this is the best i tester, I use the merlin build firnmware.
Asus Network products s*cks
I had this product for atleast 5 months now having issues. I did contact Asus for help on transfer rate and buggy firmware, transfering a file of 1GB used to take approx 1hour from the storage attached to the router, signals on 5GHZ is not that great. Asus took over remote access to the router and were not able to find out what was the problem as well. I did move the router to the service center and there they could not as well fix it, but a refund was offered on the product exclusive of tax that was paid.
Anyone who wants to buy this product please think twice it is not worth the price.
Cannot seem to get dual-band working
I only get ~11MB/s bandwidth shared between both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequencies.
With two separate wireless n devices, I would expect to get about 10MB/s on each channel. However, very disappointingly, I only get 5MB/s for each device on each of the two frequency ranges.
Is my device broken or is this to be expected?
N.B. I have the device in access point mode.
It's was a great router, but and there are a BIG but. It is not very stable. The first couple of weeks the range and speed are excellent. Then it suddenly begin to loose both range and speed, especially on the 5 GHz band, but there are also loads of examples that it has the same problem on the 2.4 GHz band.
One solution, for me at least, has been to restart the router every day.
Great router for LAN/WAN and wireless but issues with VoIP
I had lots of comments about the wireless range, how users could still be connected in the parking garage from the 5th floor. I couldn't use it, yet, because it appears to be performing PAT over NAT and I was trying to use it to support laptops, cell phones and a VoIP phone system with VoIP phones and one FXS device.
I opened my RTP ports at 10001-11001 but RTP traffic was coming in around 44K. As someone else stated, trying to get support is NIL. I've been talking to Joe from Taiwan and he really has an issue with English, there isn't support for it or he just doesn't know or care. He never answers my questions.
ME: Joe, The Braeburn apples I got from you are not very tasty. Do you also sell Honey Crisp?
JOE: Get the new oranges and check back if you still have an issue.
My original question was can I disable PAT or do you recommend a different router for VoIP. His first response was, If you still have a problem, call Indiana after waiting 2 days for an email response but they're only open M-F. He replied on Saturday. Then he replied with update the firmware and then check back if that doesn't resolve the issue. What issue? I asked how to modify settings or recommend something geared towards VoIP devices, SIP traffic.
If you want a new technology router that does not involve SIP traffic, this is a very good router to have. I've tested it with Mac, Windows and Linux. There may be a way to use it for SIP traffic but currently, it's unknown to me. I originally purchased it for the new wireless technology, speed, range and QoS. All of those were as expected. High end ports being translated was the only issue I had.

Loading... Utopia of Usurers (1917)by G.K. Chesterton
None None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Chesterton's work presented here is an anthology. The first part is the Utopia criticism, and the second part is a series of published essays from the 1912-17 time frame. The parts deserve separate reviews. Many have viewed Chesterton's Utopia of Usurers as a criticism of capitalism. I can support that view, but must add two qualifications. Firstly the arguments presented deal mainly with political, social and even religious issues, not with economic ones. Secondly his target includes much more of the banking and financial side than we would usually associate with capitalism. From there, the reader must deal with the arguments presented in context; the context is that of emerging twentieth century government, the death of classical liberalism, and the early days of the struggle between individualism and the state. His critique is not so much against capitalism as it is against the modern age, particularly the rise of the Manchester school of industry, and the practices of the 'new' British oligarchs of industry. Holding those limits in mind, many of Chesterton's observations do translate to current struggles, and most are told in his biting and witty style. The other 18 articles are way too British to fit comfortably for the average American reader. Chesterton refers to events, politicians, and conditions in England of the Irish revolution and World War I. Nevertheless, despite the resulting obscurity, it contains the typical number of very sharp Chesterton observations. For example, during his discussion of the Free Will vs. determinism he notes that: "The question of Fate and Free Will can never attain to a conclusion, though it may attain to a conviction"; and "that working men…will soon be much too busy using their Free Will to stop to prove that they've got it". In discussing the debate over restraint vs. punishment in criminology, Chesterton first calls for common sense and setting aside the formal studies, "which means going to sleep to a lullaby of long words" and using "our own brains a little". He then concludes that "a man can be punished for a crime because he is born a citizen; while he can be constrained because he is born a slave." Only a true Chesterton fan will find most of the matter worth putting up with to gain a few pearls. And if you start reading Chesterton here you are not likely to ever become a fan. no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0971489432, Paperback)An engaging work sure to appeal to both scholars and students for the depth of its thought and the freshness of its claims, this is a two-part book by one of the 20th century's greatest writers. The first part is a coherent analysis of the theory, effects, and claims of capitalism. The second is a lengthy collection of articles from Chesterton's vast journalistic output. The author challenges the fundamental tenets of capitalism without favoring socialism or Marxism by providing a philosophical analysis of the pitfalls, drawbacks, and falsehoods regarding capitalism and its inevitability. This is must reading for any serious investigation into anti-capitalist thought. It is also an exemplary text of how Christian principles and thinking apply to the socioeconomic world.

I seriously doubt it. I have at least 15 customers who blend their ads right into the navigation scheme, and overall, their EPC is on a par with everyone's else's that I know about personally and better than several who don't bend their ads at all - and it's been that way for a LONG time.
Based upon my experience with 40+ other publishers, the fear of getting hit by "smart pricing" because of blending is unfounded.

TABU—DVD Review
by Peter Wong' Oct. 30' 2013
Stories are admittedly manufactured falsehoods. Yet a good storyteller can carefully craft these falsehoods to lead the listener or some other story recipient to a place of recognizable emotional truth. But what happens when the listener prefers to reside in falsehood's lands rather than live with an awkward truth? Portuguese director Miguel Gomes raises these questions with his acclaimed film "Tabu." Kino Lorber's new DVD/Blu-Ray home release of Gomes' movie finally makes it accessible to Bay Area audiences of art film.
"Tabu"'s first half begins in present-day Portugal. Pilar, a religious middle-aged woman who works for a human rights organization, is neighbor and sole friend of the elderly Aurora. The old woman fluctuates between rationality and slips into a mental netherworld where present dreams and old fears of supernatural curses co-exist. Awareness of Aurora's social isolation powers Pilar's pity for her neighbor. Aurora's only child, a daughter, rarely has time for her mother. Santa, Aurora's live-in servant, stoically endures her charge's mood swings.
The human rights worker's understanding of Aurora undergoes a profound shift when her neighbor falls seriously ill. The old woman asks Pilar to bring her a man named Gian Luca, someone never before mentioned to either Santa or Pilar. Gian Luca is eventually located, but the tie between the supposedly crazy old man and Aurora is explicated in the film's second half.
This half of the film turns out to be an extended flashback set fifty years ago. The place is a Portuguese colony in Africa, located in the shadow of Mount Tabu. The younger Aurora turns out to be a beautiful big-game hunter who lives in quiet contentment with her plantation owner husband. Into their lives come aspiring rock star Mario and his friend the handsome Gian Luca. The latter man wants to escape his past as a feckless breaker of women's hearts and live a normal respectable life. But that goal proves unattainable when an amour fou eventually develops between Gian Luca and Aurora. Against the impending arrival of the Portuguese Colonial War, what disaster will befall Gian Luca and Aurora's affair?
To appreciate "Tabu," the viewer must understand a couple of stylistic tricks that the former film critic employs throughout the film. The visual trick is having the entire film shot in a ratio that doesn't fill the entire screen. Gomes is creating a different effect than the narrowness of cultural vision effect Kelly Reichardt achieved in "Meek's Cutoff." The very visible black frame is the director's way of preventing the viewer from being completely immersed in the worlds of either present day Portugal or its colonial Africa days. For all the familiarity of the present day section of the film, there's something emotionally sterile about Pilar's and Aurora's life. On the other hand, the colonial Africa section has the familiar passions associated with "exotic" locales, illicit love, and impending doom. Yet Gomes is clearly uninterested in having the viewer romanticize the colonial past.
The auditory trick is having the film's two African sequences be narrated by Gian Luca. The first Africa sequence, which serves as a sort of preface for "Tabu," is a film about a white explorer in one of that continent's jungles. Any nobility associated with the traditional role of white explorer acquiring information about lands unknown to the Europeans gets undercut by learning the personal reason behind the explorer's journey to this jungle. In the extended flashback which is "Tabu"'s second half, while the soundtrack is filled with mostly Gian Luca's narration, sound effects, and Portuguese renditions of familiar Phil Spector songs ("Be My Baby" can be quickly identified), there is no dialogue from either the white or the black characters. Presenting the story in this manner prevents the viewer from being immersed in the familiar mechanics of the illicit love story. Instead, as the surviving witness to these decades-old events, Gian Luca implicitly has his own veracity come into question.
The truth behind the stories we tell ourselves and others is one of "Tabu"'s repeating themes even in the film's present-day Portugal section. Pilar's prospective roommate Maya lies about her identity to avoid staying with the older woman. The human rights worker wants to pretend she likes an artist friend's painting by hanging it in the living room when she actually feels it's not his best work.
The biggest untrue story being told in the film is the one not discussed onscreen. It's the tale of how the lives of the Africans colonized by the Portuguese are somehow magically improved by the white peoples' presence. The black natives' voices are never heard challenging this narrative except through the looming presence of a nearby revolutionary army.
"Tabu" references the setting of Mount Tabu, where legends are birthed. The title also obviously refers to the breaking of societal norms caused by Aurora and Gian Luca's affair. But most importantly, it alludes to the silence regarding questioning the morality of Portuguese colonialism.
Crocodiles provide a visual metaphor for "Tabu"'s many themes. The explorer who gets killed by one such beast in the film's preface dies from not dealing with his emotional trauma. The constant escapes of Aurora's pet crocodile symbolize the inability to permanently contain the secret of Aurora's affair. Finally, the film's final shot of the crocodile makes the beast a visual metaphor for the longevity of Gian Luca's story.
"Tabu" should not be dismissed as an exercise in intellectual filmmaking. Aurora as an old woman keeps the viewer guessing whether she's rational or is slowly going insane. The Portuguese versions of Phil Spector songs feel fresh and startling. Even without a word of actual dialogue, the sexual tension between the younger Aurora and Gian Luca feel palpable.
"Tabu" may lack America's commercial virtues of providing easily digestible and forgettable entertainment. But Gomes's film artfully balances its oppositions of silence and sound, aridity and passion, and entertainment and art to create an intriguing inversion of a familiar melodramatic scenario.
("Tabu" is now out on DVD/Blu-Ray from Kino Lorber.)

Basement Windows
We need to replace our basement windows. They are wood. How do we get the correct dimensions of them?

Basement Windows
You need to take dimensions of the rough opening that the windows themselves go into. That might be a framed opening or a concrete opening, depending on the type of window and where they're situated.
If there is casing on the windows you'll need to remove it in order to measure the rough opening dimensions. Take that info to your supplier or go online to the window manufacturer you're going to use. They'll have charts for their full product line. See what will fit in your rough openings. Sometimes it is necessary to go custom, but usually not. |

Basement Windows
Excellent advice and right on the money! I also wanted to mention that even though it shouldn't really be an issue but just to be on the safe side whenever I measure an R.O. or a rough opening I always take 3 measurements the top the middle and the bottom. I will come down 6" and write down my width measurement at that point then I come down to about the middle point of the opening and take a measurement and then go down to about 6" up from the bottom or so and take a measurement and I always use the narrowest measurement for my RO when giving measurements to the supplier. Then I do this for my height as well. This way if there are some sever discrepancies in the RO you make sure that the window isn't going to be too wide or high for the opening. Also if you are going to be replacing a lot of or even just a few windows and are going to be ordering them from someone they some times come out and measure them for free, if you are purchasing the windows from them. This is more so the case for window suppliers and not the big box stores. The big box stores will come out and measure them but will charge you unless you are going to have THEM install the windows and is sometimes the case with suppliers as well. They usually require you to pay a fee to measure the windows like $50 - $100 and then will refund that if you hire their installers where as the suppliers just charge this and refund it off the purchase price, but you can install those yourself saving you a little money there. At best if you are going to be replacing and installing the windows yourself you can stop in to your local big box store such as Home Depot and go into their building supply department and they will have measuring "how to" guides right there for you to use. This will give you instructions for measuring for replacement windows however this method will leave you responsible for any errors in measuring so it is up to you whether or not you want to take the responsibility when ordering windows. Just some food for thought and what I would do is talk to a couple window manufacturers and suppliers in your area and see what works best for you. Good luck and be safe.

The Manliest Restaurant in the United States
A barbecue joint in Kansas City, Oklahoma Joe's, has earned the recognition of being the 'Manliest Restaurant' of America. The joint defeated 8 other finalists in the competition organized by the Men's Health magazine for the second time in two years.
According to the magazine, Oklahoma Joe's sold 400,000 pounds of brisket in 2011. Its customers are both men and women so the restaurant is surprised why it was titled the manliest restaurant.
Dough Worgul, marketing director of Oklahoma Joe's, tries to explain by saying that it may be because of the meat-centric menu of the joint that the tag 'manliest' got attached to it. However, that doesn't mean the restaurant is going to forget its female patrons.
If you want to go and eat at the 'manliest restaurant' of the country, its burnt ends are specially recommended.

i remember jane mai
i forgot to reblog this
i remember jane mai
i forgot to reblog this
took a work break to draw fanart of the coolest witch ever super cool witch Jane Mai.
Hi everybody!! Please take a moment to watch my new music video I directed for the immensely talented Paula Cole, starring my beautiful sister Blaise. This was a really fun project and so many awesome people were involved, like amazing artists Emily Bragg, Jane Mai, Evelyn Lieu, & Anna Chapman. Also keep your eyes peeled for the I'm Your Present accessories, in the scene shot at Shop at Bananas! I'll be making gifs from this for a while hahaha.
Strong beautiful ladies, here is your new power song I hope you like my video!
fun + frands !!
i'm the picnic girl with Mean Face
someone sent me a fan mail thing asking me what my favourite indie comics/zines are and i figured it might be fun to draw them all tiny because one of my favourite things to do is draw tiny books. Anyways here are some words about them:
1) Fantasy Basketball - Sam Bosma: I only read this a few hours ago so it's still very fresh in my mind but i can tell i'm going to be thinking about it for awhile. It has great pacing and humour and the art is beautiful. It reminds me of a parallel universe studio ghibli adventure with hints of dragon quest thrown in for good measure. I want/need some more adventures featuring Wiz, she was super charming! Sam is a crazy good illustrator, the worlds he creates all feel so alive.
2 & 3) Kuš - Various: these guys put out some of my favourite comics anthologies (š!) full of comics from talented folk from all over this big weird planet. they're also pocket sized and super cute (certainly the cutest comic anthology going around these days!). This is one of the best ways to discover new comic artists, i think, especially those from other countries. My favourite so far has been #9 which i carried around in my bag for like 7 months until it got water damaged when i got stuck in a storm, it's still good though. Bonus Story: I was reading Kris Mukai's comic in #9 in a laundromat in new york city and laughed out loud and an old lady gave me a weird look.
4) Klaus - Richard Short - I think i've mentioned a few times in the past how much i love Klaus. This book was pretty important for inspiring me to really want to get into making comics seriously. The strips are funny, charming, honest and beautifully crafted. Short has such a dry sense of humour, which is very appealing to me and makes the comics really shine. Klaus also features one of my all time favourite characters: Lovely Horse!
5) Internet Comics: Maré Odomo: Maré makes beautiful comics, his words are almost like poems or song lyrics or something and his illustrations make me always feel like i'm reading a dream. Internet Comics is no different, it's great and moving and honest which is everything i want in a comic.
6) Sunday in the Park with Boys: Jane Mai: This is one of the most honest comics i've ever read, it's beautifully illustrated and Jane has such a unique voice and way of writing comics, easily one of my favourite books ever and one i recommend tracking down. Plus Jane is just great even though she's an actual living and breathing ball of grease. True story.
Anyways i could have gone on and on and included a bunch of other equally great comics but words are hard so that's it, thanks for reading.
awww jake
cool folks
my friend saicoink gave aoki misako my nurse janey stationery i'm so happy i'm dead
misako i love you
Here's the first nine cartoonist/artist trading cards which i've been posting up on twitter. I want to do more of these cause they're good fun and these are good people.
in case you haven't cried from cuteness yet today, here's a video of my hamster Tiny (o*゜∇゜)o~♪♪ i could stare at him forever
the song is "Building Castles in the Sky" by Lullatone
i'm a hand model >B)
I finally read Jane Mai's "Sunday in the Park with Boys" and I absolutely loved it! Here's fan art of Stinky.
