Cast of Vices | Fall 2010 Collection
Born from a desire to create artifacts out of our vices, Cast of Vices celebrates the inherent design aesthetic of these substances while casting a critical eye on pop culture and our obsession with self-medication and addiction. When our Rome falls, these will be our remains: cigarette butts, pills, bottle caps, and coke bags. The fly is a reminder of the stench of our addictions and can be a companion to any piece.
Cast of Vices new Collection No. 3 continues to explore the semiotics within contemporary culture and their effects on our modern ethos. Cast of Vices adopts a brighter palette in the new collection by means of hand cut, natural, semi-precious stones and crystals.
The collection is hand crafted in the U.S.A. with solid .925 sterling silver, semi-precious stones, and 14k gold by using the lost wax process.

Monospaced font
A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch, fixed-width or non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space.[1] This contrasts with variable-width fonts, where the letters differ in size from one another.
Note that this article generally assumes Western (Latin-based, Cyrillic, or Greek) writing systems. East Asian rules of typography, for example, require CJK fonts to be always monospaced at least as far as the main characters for writing words (i.e. not punctuation) are concerned. Other scripts vary in their use of monospaced fonts.
The first monospaced Western typefaces were designed for typewriters, which could only move the same distance forward with each letter typed.[citation needed] This also meant that monospaced fonts need not be typeset like variable width fonts and were, arguably, easier to deal with[clarification needed].
Examples of monospaced fonts include Courier, Courier New, and Lucida Console.
Use in computers[edit]
Monospaced fonts were widely used in early computers and computer terminals, which often had extremely limited graphical capabilities. Hardware implementation was simplified by using a text mode where the screen layout was addressed as a regular grid of tiles, each of which could be set to display a character by indexing into the hardware's character map. Some systems allowed colored text to be displayed by varying the foreground and background color for each tile. Other effects included reverse video and blinking text. Nevertheless, these early systems were typically limited to a single console font.
Even though computers can now display a wide variety of fonts, the majority of IDEs and software text editors employ a monospaced font as the default typeface. This increases the readability of source code, which is often heavily reliant on distinctions involving individual symbols. Monospaced fonts are also used in terminal emulation and for laying out tabulated data in plain text documents. In technical manuals and resources for programming languages, a monospaced font is often used to distinguish code from natural-language text.
The term modern is sometimes used as a synonym for monospace generic font family. The term modern can be used for a fixed-pitch generic font family name used in OpenDocument format (ISO/IEC 26300:2006) and Rich Text Format.[2][3]
Use in ASCII art[edit]
A monospaced font is often used in making ASCII art because of its ability to maintain the alignment of characters which are at the same position in different lines.
This is especially true in Line Drawing, where the characters are blocks and should be fixed-width.
Normal font | Monospace font |
┌─┐ ┌┬┐ [example of line drawing characters] │ │ ├┼┤ [requires fixed-width, especially with spaces] |
┌─┐ ┌┬┐ [example of line drawing characters] │ │ ├┼┤ [requires fixed-width, especially with spaces] └─┘ └┴┘ [otherwise they are mis-aligned, as in the left.] |
Use in text-only grids[edit]
Monospaced fonts can produced an orthogonal grid for simple text-only board games. Or even in more elaborate text-only video games, such as Dwarf Fortress.
Use in biology[edit]
Monospaced fonts are preferred for displaying nucleic acid and protein sequences, as they ensure that the representation of every nucleotide or amino acid occupies the same amount of space. Alignment of the letters makes it easier to compare different sequences visually.
Use in guitar/bass music[edit]
Monospaced fonts are frequently used in tablature music for guitar and bass guitar.
Use in film and theatre[edit]
Both screenplays and stage play scripts frequently use monospaced fonts, since the length of the script determines the approximate length of the production. The industry standard is 12 point Courier.[citation needed]

In his book, Lincoln Reconsidered, Pulitzer prize-winning Lincoln biographer David Donald remarked that, after Lincoln's death and "reincarnation" as a secular political saint, politicians of all stripes began attaching themselves to his legacy. Men who were his bitterest political enemies during his lifetime all of a sudden claimed to have been his closest friends and associates. The Communist Party U.S.A. adorned its New York City headquarters, writes Donald, with huge portraits of Lincoln and held annual Lincoln-Lenin Day parades.
No one, of course, has taken the worshipping of Abraham Lincoln to greater extremes than the Republican Party and some of its affiliated foundations and think tanks. The Republican Party has long sought to give its political agenda moral authority by reminding us all that it is, after all, "The Party of Lincoln." That is certainly true but, unfortunately, the Republican Party and some of its associated think tanks have apparently found it necessary to do what they once accused the Soviet Union of doing: rewriting history in order to enhance its prestige and power.
Take, for instance, a Washington, DC, outfit known as the "Declaration Foundation" that is purportedly devoted to the principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence. It does so by lionizing Lincoln (as though he still needs more lionizing) and constantly reminding Republican politicians to do this or that because "Lincoln would have done it." One of its slogans is the Lincolnian phrase, "Liberty and Union Forever" (emphasis added).
The Declaration Foundation does some good work, judging by its Web site, but its very name is somewhat Orwellian. Consider the one principle of the Declaration of Independence that Thomas Jefferson is most noted for, the idea that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that whenever governments become destructive of liberty it is the duty of citizens to abolish that government and replace it with a new one.
The Declaration, after all, was a Declaration of Secession from England. The American Revolution was a war of secession, just as the War for Southern Independence was. Massachusetts Senator Timothy Pickering, who served as George Washington's adjutant general, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State, once said that secession was "the" principle of the American Revolution — the very right that the revolutionaries fought for. The Declaration Foundation, on the other hand, preaches exactly the opposite with its "Union Forever" philosophy.
Lincoln's political triumph was, if anything, a repudiation of the Jeffersonian philosophy of government and a victory for his political adversaries, the Hamiltonians, who by 1861 had morphed into the Republican Party. Like all the founding fathers Jefferson wanted the Union to thrive, but he also agreed with his colleague Timothy Pickering that secession was a fundamental right. In his First Inaugural Address he declared, "If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this union . . . let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it." He was championing the right of free speech here, but also the right of secession.
In a letter to James Madison in 1816 Jefferson reiterated his support of the right of secession by saying, "If any state in the Union will declare that it prefers separation . . . to a continuance in union . . . I have no hesitation in saying, let us separate."
Alexis de Tocqueville, whom everyone regards as a brilliant observer and chronicler of the American system of government, wrote in Democracy in America that "The Union was formed by the voluntary agreement of the States; and in uniting together they have not forfeited their nationality . . . . If one of the states chooses to withdraw from the compact . . . the Federal Government would have no means of maintaining its claims directly either by force or right." (Tocqueville could never have imagined that barely thirty years later an American president would commit the barbaric act of having his armies murder 300,000 fellow citizens and destroy their economy to deny them the right of secession).
Even Abraham Lincoln voiced support for the right of secession when it served his political purposes. He enthusiastically embraced (and orchestrated) the secession of western Virginia (a slave state) when it joined the Union. And on January 12, 1848, he announced that "any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. . . . Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit." Don't look for this quote, though, in any of the materials produced by the Declaration Foundation.
As of 1860 most Northerners and Southerners believed in the Jeffersonian right of secession as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. In Northern Editorials on Secession Howard Cecil Perkins surveyed about 1,000 Northern newspapers and found that the majority of them agreed basically with what the Bangor Daily Union wrote on November 13, 1860: "The Union depends for its continuance on the free consent and will of the sovereign people of each state, and when that consent and will is withdrawn on either part, their Union is gone." A state that is coerced to remain in the Union becomes a "subject province" and can never be "a co-equal member of the American Union."
New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley, a prominent Republican, editorialized on December 17, 1860, that if tyranny and despotism justified the Revolution of 1776, then "we do not see why it would not justify the secession of Five Millions of Southrons from the Federal Union in 1861." On February 5, 1861, Greeley continued on that "The Great Principle embodied by Jefferson in the Declaration is . . . that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed." Therefore, if he Southern states want to secede, "they have a clear right to do so." At this time, Northerners knew that if there was to be a war it was not a war "to free the slaves," but to deny Southerners the right of secession. In an 1862 letter to Horace Greeley Lincoln himself declared that his "paramount objective" in the war was to destroy the right of secession or, as he rephrased it, to "save the Union," and that if he could do that without freeing a single slave he would gladly do so.
The Declaration Foundation, the Claremont Institute, and other self-proclaimed beacons of the Lincolnian philosophy, preach exactly the opposite. They perpetuate the preposterous myth that there was never any such thing as a right of secession — in a country that was formed by a war of secession. In doing so they rewrite history to legitimize the highly centralized welfare/warfare state that Lincoln, more than anyone else, helped bring about in America. The Declaration Foundation, in other words, repudiates the principles of the Declaration of Independence while trying to convince the public that it is actually championing them.
The second most notable principle of the Declaration is the notion that "all men are created equal." The Declaration Foundation and the Claremont Institute portray Lincoln as an almost Christ-like figure because of his supposed embrace of this principle, but this is hard to square with many of Lincoln's own lifelong beliefs and clear, unambiguous statements. In his 1858 Ottawa, Illinois debate with Stephen Douglas, for example, he stated that "I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races . . . . I . . . am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position. I have never said anything to the contrary."
Lincoln went on to declare that he had never been in favor "of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people." He literally mocked the Jeffersonian dictum that "all men are created equal" by claiming that, with the possible exception of Siamese twins, "I am sorry to say that I have never seen two men of whom it is true."
On the topic of emancipation Lincoln said, "Free them, and make them politically and socially our equals? My own feelings will not admit of this . . . . We cannot, then make them equals."
It doesn't get any clearer than that. Lincoln unequivocally denounced the principle of the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal, especially when it comes to men of the white and black races. Ever the slick politician, he rhetorically defended the "natural rights" of all people, but blacks could never enjoy such rights if they were denied all the rights that Lincoln would deny them. In his 1852 eulogy to Henry Clay Lincoln stated that he agreed with Clay that slavery was regrettable, but ending it would produce "a greater evil, even to the cause of human liberty itself." Don't look for this line, either, in any of the Declaration Foundation's publications.
Lincoln's career-long goal, which he clung to until the day he died, was colonization — to send every last black person in the U.S. to Africa, Central America, Haiti — anywhere but the U.S. This, said Lincoln, would be a "glorious consummation." They could be "equal" all right, but not here. This led America's most prominent abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison, to denounce Lincoln as "the President of African Colonization" and to declare that he "had not a drop of anti-slavery blood in his veins." Again, don't look for this in any Declaration Foundation or Claremont Institute publications.
Although the Declaration Foundation and the Claremont Institute are "conservative" organizations, they join hands with prominent hard-core leftists in distorting the real meaning of the Declaration of Independence. In Lincoln at Gettysburg the far-left journalist Garry Wills celebrates this "open air sleight of hand" and Lincoln's use of military force to "remake America" in a way that made egalitarianism, rather than liberty, the prevailing political philosophy.
Left-of-Center Columbia University law professor George P. Fletcher concurs with Wills in Our Secret Constitution, where he praises Lincoln for "reinventing the United States" government from one whose main goal was the defense of liberty to "nationalism, egalitarianism, and democracy."
Over the past century nationalism has been the chief source of the wars that have killed millions of civilians; egalitarianism has helped create socialist and welfare states that have destroyed economy after economy; and unbridled democracy has decimated liberty. The Republican and Democratic parties have championed all of these things over the past century, and they use what Joseph Sobran has called the "Fantasy Lincoln" to help prop up their corrupt regimes.

These stunning cushion-shaped cuff links have a slight dome and easy to use flip backs.
4.5 average customer rating from 4 reviews.
I ordered the cuff links with the engraved initials. Having bought them, I'm glad I got them engraved. They would have looked rather empty without the engraving. The engraving was good quality and the cuff links looked great. They also came in a good bag with separations, so that the cuff links won't scratch against each other in the bag. I can see the bag being very useful in keeping the cuff links safe when storing them. Delivery was really fast and they were very accommodating when I had to switch the mailing address from home to work. My boyfriend loved them!

Posted: 5:08 p.m. Monday, Feb. 11, 2013
By Rick McCrabb
Two Middletown men are charged with involuntary manslaughter after a woman overdosed on heroin and died Monday morning, according to Middletown police.
Kenneth Moore, 35, of Greentree Road, and Jerry Orender, 27, of South Clinton Street, were charged with the first-degree felonies after Jennifer Beverly, 30, of Greentree Road, was found unconscious and not breathing in the car Moore was driving in the 2000 block of Central Avenue.
Around 1 a.m., Moore called 911 and told the Middletown dispatcher that Beverly, his girlfriend, was robbed in an apartment in the 700 block of South Clinton Street and she possibly overdosed. Moore said Beverly was not breathing and he was driving her from the high-rise apartment to Middletown Regional Hospital on McKnight Drive. The dispatcher told Moore that hospital was closed and he needed to pull over and wait for Middletown police.
The dispatcher asked if Beverly was dead and Moore said: "I don't know."
He couldn't tell the dispatcher where he was driving on Central Avenue and he later told the dispatcher that he was giving Beverly CPR and he could be heard saying, "Hold on baby."
Beverly, who was in the front passenger seat, was taken to Atrium Medical Center where she was pronounced dead around 1:30 a.m., Middletown police said. Her autopsy was performed Monday afternoon and the results were unavailable, the Warren County Coroner's Office said.
Lt. Scott Reeve of the Middletown Division of Police said the investigation revealed that Beverly was not robbed in the apartment. He said Middletown police were called to the same apartment on Saturday for a report of a drug overdose. Matthew Adkins, 22, of Middletown, was charged with drug abuse/instruments.
Reeve said investigators believe those in the apartment Monday morning may have been scared to notify police when Beverly overdosed because police were there the night before.
He called it a "tragic case."
Beverly's parents were notified by Middletown detectives Monday, Reeve said. He said Beverly was a single mother.
Moore and Orender were charged with involuntary manslaughter, obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence, Reeve said. Both remain in Middletown City Jail with bonds of $100,000 — $50,000 for involuntary manslaughter and $25,000 each for tampering and obstructing, according to court records.

Qualcomm, Nokia partner on new 3G phones
BARCELONA--It looks like mobile chipmaker Qualcomm and handset maker Nokia have finally buried the hatchet.
On Tuesday, the companies, which were once entangled in a bitter legal battle, announced at the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2009 here that they would collaborate on developing technologies for 3G smartphones sold for the North American market.
The new devices will use Nokia's S60 software, which uses the Symbian OS, and advanced chipsets from Qualcomm that use its Mobile Station Modem technology. The first mobile devices to come out of this collaboration are expected in mid 2010, the companies said. And they will … Read more

I going to see if I can borrow an OIII filter for the weekend, too (and put one on my Xmas list). The pulsar is beyond the theoretical limits of my SCT (limiting magnitude 14.8) but I'm going to look for it anyway if conditions allow. The visitors center at the NRAO facility in Greenbank has an exhibit where you can dial in different pulsars and hear their radio signal.

Panasonic touts world's first portable Blu-ray player
Panasonic's DMP-B15 is slated to be the world's first portable Blu-ray player to hit the market when it comes out in May. It has an 8.9-inch screen and features the same integrated Internet and Viera Cast technology that allows Panasonic electronics to link up with one another for a cohesive home entertainment experience (if you want to use your portable Blu-ray player at home, that is). You can also plug an SD card into it and view the pictures and video that you create, and there's an HDMI port for your home HDTV and it's car-mountable
Later this year, Panasonic's Viera Cast service will include streaming content from Amazon's Internet movie service, YouTube and other streaming content distributors which you can view on your DMP-B15. Travelers beware: Right now the DMP-B15 is rated at 3 hours, so you can enjoy your popcorn action flicks, but maybe you should leave your Kubrick collection at home.
Check out the gallery below to see more of a smudgy DMP-B15 in the wild. (Many clamoring reporters were sacrificed to bring you these shots.) Click Continue for the full release. From Panasonic: The DMP-B15 provides all the technology found in its stand alone brethren, the DMP-BD60, DMP-BD80 and the VHS-Blu-ray dual player DMP-BD70V. Image quality is of the highest level, thanks to PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus technology developed in collaboration with Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory. "As a pioneer in the development of DVD and Blu-ray expertise, Panasonic has always been in the forefront of cutting edge, consumer friendly technology. Panasonic was the first company to bring to market a portable DVD player and stand alone Blu-ray players to feature Bonus View and BD Live," said Richard Simone, Director, Entertainment Group, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "Blu-ray technology came together with HDTVs to bring exciting High Definition viewing into the living room. With the introduction of this unique portable Blu-ray Disc player, the consumer can take this HD entertainment experience when they travel." The PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus is a high quality image-processing technology that precisely processes each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc™ video signal in the vertical direction. It reproduces color data with twice the accuracy of conventional systems, resulting in faithful and sharp colors. Ease of use is an important element in Panasonic's products and the DMP-B15, with a three hour rechargeable battery, is designed with that in mind. In addition to its use as a portable player, the consumer can connect it to an HDTV via HDMI cable, and use it as a standalone Blu-ray Disc player. The player can also be connected to an HD-Audio compatible AV receiver with a home theater speaker system and enjoy movies with outstanding surround sound. To accommodate the traveler, the DMP-B15 offers an optional headrest mounting bracket for in-car use. Like all Panasonic Blu-ray players, the B15 features an SD Memory Card slot that allows the consumer to view and share digital photos, as well as HD video recorded on a SD card. For 2009, Panasonic's entire line of Blu-ray players includes VIERA CAST functionality. This unique application gives the consumer access to select entertainment sites, including Amazon Video-on-Demand, a streaming video service that gives the consumer access to more than 40,000 titles; YouTube™; Google Picasa Web Album; Bloomberg and a weather channel. Via Panasonic
Panasonic, a major developer and contributor to the success of the Blu-ray format, introduced the world's first portable Blu-ray Disc player at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show. The DMP-B15, designed to provide the ultimate high definition Blu-ray experience for those on the go, features a high quality 8.9-inch WSVGA LCD screen and includes the unique VIERA CAST™ internet accessibility and BD Live functionality. The DMP-B15 will be available in May.

JENNINGS, La. (AP) - Two Jennings men face multiple charges after police say they allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at a home.
Eighteen-year-old Kristopher Watkins and a 17-year-old were booked Monday with aggravated arson, conspiracy to commit simple arson and manufacturing of a delayed-action incendiary device.
Police Chief Todd D'Albor says the men were booked into the city jail and transferred to the parish jail on Tuesday.
D'Albor said bricks had been thrown through a window at the same residence on two previous occasions.
It was unclear whether Watkins and the 17-year-old have attorneys.

Calif. sun to power bank's electric-car charge spots
A bank chain in California will combine PV and EV--that is, an electric-vehicle charging station equipped with solar-photovoltaic panels.
Solar installer SolarCity and Rabobank on Tuesday unveiled the charge point at a bank branch in Santa Maria, Calif.
The bank, which plans to build a network of four charging stations from Los Angeles to San Francisco, is considering putting solar panels on the buildings, according to Lyndon Rive, CEO of SolarCity, which installs and provides financing for solar panels. The company owns the panels at the Santa Maria location and sells the electricity they generate to the bank.

VANCOUVER -- The Vancouver Canucks will retire former star Pavel Bure's No. 10 jersey in the upcoming NHL season.
The Canucks announced the plan during the club's annual summer summit Tuesday night. Bure was a member of the Canucks in his first seven NHL seasons, between 1991-92 and 1997-98.
Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in November, Bure will be just the fourth player in franchise history to have his number retired, along with Stan Smyl, Trevor Linden and Markus Naslund.
A date for the jersey retirement has not been set.
"It's a huge honour," said Bure after the summit session at Rogers Arena. "I'm just really proud and happy.
"It just brings lots of good memories to be next to those great guys."
Bure says Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini discussed the idea of the jersey retirement with him last year in Toronto.
"He came to see me during my Hall of Fame induction and that was a really big deal for me," said Bure.
While with the Canucks, Bure recorded 254 goals and 224 assists for 478 points in 428 games played. He still holds the franchise record for most points by a rookie with 60 in 65 games played in 1991-92, as well as the club mark for most career short-handed goals (24).
The Moscow native also ranks in the top-5 in franchise history in game-winning goals (32), goals (254) and hat-tricks (nine).
Bure shares the franchise lead in playoff goals alongside Linden, registering 34 in 60 playoff games. In 1994, when the Canucks reached the Stanley Cup final, Bure's 16 playoff goals set a franchise record for most post-season goals in a playoff year.

GEOID90, GEOID93, GEOID96, and
For GEOID03 heights range from a low of -50.01 meters (magenta)
in the Atlantic
Ocean to a high of 3.43 meters (red) in the Labrador Strait.
these geoid heights are only reliable within CONUS
due to the limited extents of the data used to compute it.
GEOID03 models will not be
created for other regions. Instead, new models will be created for
all regions at a later date depending on improvements in data,
modeling and techniques.
Note that the GEOID03 file #7, which covers the
coastal Lousiana,
region, has been modified. It has been updated based on the most
recent VTDP model for the region to better reflect the actual
orthometric heights at the bench marks.

Protesters climb on Wells Fargo roof to protest evictions
Activists held a massive banner and pitched a tent on the roof of the Wells Fargo branch at 16th and Mission Jan 14, while 150 supporters watched from the parking lot. Seven were arrested.
Organizers say the demonstration was meant to draw attention to the bank's complicity in unfair foreclosures and evictions.
The protest was planned by a coalition of Bay Area housing rights and homelessness advocacy groups, along with organizers from Occupy San Francisco.
Sarah Shortt, Executive Director of the San Francisco Housing Rights Committee, says that abuses by corporate banks are inextricably linked to issues that her group has been working on for years; "evictions, displacement, affordable housing, and tenants rights."
After rallying at 16th and Mission, protesters looked up to see that six had climbed to the roof. They unfurled a banner reading "Banks: No Foreclosures/Evictions for Profit!"
A fire truck arrived ten minutes later, and put up a ladder to give the police and firefighters access to the roof.
The Police Department cooperated with protesters, assisting a negotiation with the bank branch's manager. A letter detailing their demands, including a moratorium on foreclosures and an end to predatory and speculative loans, was apparently faxed to Wells Fargo spokeswoman Holly Rockwood.
Protesters said that they would not leave the roof until they had a meeting scheduled with Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf. Six were arrested.
According to an SFPD statement, "A bank employee signed a private person's arrest (citizens arrest) for trespassing."
After those arrested were painstakingly shuttled down the ladder and into a police van, protesters blocked the van from leaving Hoff street between 16th and 17th for about ten minutes until it sped out through the parking lot. Protesters then marched to the nearby Mission Police Station, where a drummer from the Brass Liberation Orchestra, which often accompanies protest events in the city, was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer with her drum.
Those arrested on the roof were cited for trespassing and released within hours. Supporters have put up money to release the drummer, known as Montana; bail was set at $8,100.
While the drama on the roof unfolded, Shortt, along with organizers from Causa Justa: Just Cause and the San Francisco Tenants Union, spoke about abuses committed against tenants and homeowners. They also spoke about Wells Fargo's investment in private prisons.
In a press release, organizers said that the protest was meant to call attention to "predatory equity scams, Ellis Act evictions, and immoral home loans."
The Ellis Act allows landlords to evict tenants for any reason, if they don't re-rent the units at a higher price in the next five years. The act hasno restrictions on selling the units as tenancies in common -- a backdoor way to create condos -- and that's a lucrative and common practice in the Mission.
Ellis Act evictions increased by 8% in 2011, According to the San Francisco Rent Board Annual Report.
Jose Morales, a tenant who was evicted based on the Ellis Act and activist with the San Francisco Tenants Union, spoke to the crowd Saturday. Said Morales, "I have osteoporosis, I'm 82 and a half years old, but you still see me walking around with my sign."
He displayed protest signs declaring that housing is a human right and urging single-payer health care.
Mesha Irizarry also told her story to the protesters. Her Bayview home was sold to Bank of New York, then transferred to Bank of America on September 1, but says that she refuses to leave and is fighting the foreclosure.
"We do not play the blame-the-victim game. We are not alone. We are not ashamed to sat ay what has happened to us. We are fighting back, and we are going to win" said Irizarry, who named several other women who are resisting foreclosures in Bayview.
Irizarry began a San Francisco chapter of Occupy the Hood, a group dedicated to confronting problems that disproportionately affect the poor and people of color within the Occupy Movement. In San Francisco, the branch has focused mainly on defending homes from foreclosure and eviction. Saturday's protest was part of that effort.
This demonstration was also a part of a series targeting banks, that protesters plan to top off with a day-long "occupation of the financial district" January 20th.
Said Occupy SF Housing Coalition media spokesman Gene Doherty, "The banks and the development companies that have gotten us all into (the foreclosure crisis) are a major part of the problem…it is their ethical duty, moral duty right now to be fixing this. And if that means it's going to eat into their profit, that means it eats into their profit."
That will certainly deter foreclosures. Not.
Imagine the WFC CEO in a crisis meeting with his board: "OMG, whatever will we do if some proestors unfurl a banner? We'll be ruined!"
Yes, those protestors were a nasty lot standing around yelling in the street about predatory bank foreclosures and standing around quietly on the Wells Fargo roof until a meeting with the Superrich CEO, John Stumpf, about Wells Fargo Bank thefts and corruption was broached with Holly Rockwood. The really dumb part is visualizing Montana, a complete pacifist, attacking someone with her drum. I'm going to have to be extra careful when I stand next to her video-ing the great Brass Liberation Orchestra music. If I get too close to those sticks, she might make me wear her drum as a hat.

That made me laugh, thank you. The last thing you want is your home loan trying to seduce your teenage daughter.
for every banker making an imprudent loan, there was a greedy borrower who didn't do his/her due diligence.
Bankers could not have peddled these things unless the people had been willing co-conspirators.
I tried going into Wells Fargo @ 16th/Mission saturday to close my account. Protesters standing in front of the door blocked my path. I had to ask a cop to tell them to move. I got verbally abused by the protesters. What's up with this?
Occupy got to do a better job of policing their people or else they're going to lose support.
If 150 people want to make a statement about foreclosure and malfeasance (investing into heinous accounts and projects like private prisons), getting arrested isn't helping anyone. It wastes their efforts and only bolsters the indignation the police already show, not to mention reinforcing the unilaterally held belief in continuing business as usual by all of these CEOs and their incestuous cohorts (check out ExxonMobile's board of directors if you have the time/care) with the full knowledge that nothing is going to happen to them anyway - the written law supports their position, and pacifism threatens no one, least of all those who've already well established themselves as utterly apathetic to the plight of anyone catching the brunt of their misdeeds. Being foolish certainly garners no sympathy from me.
It would have proven far more beneficial to the overall superstructure of concerning matters to reposes the physical structure currently occupied by Wells Fargo and evict all employees before deciding that the recently reacquired property was far more useful in the form of a parking lot henceforth leveling it with a rented crane & wrecking ball. They could even do so democratically, taking the vote of all those present including the evicted, thusly making their actions even more fair than those of Well Fargo. This would twofold their efforts as it would be both a symbolic action and a physical one. John Stumpf and anyone else in the ranks of WFC with the sort of clout to actually draft change in policy are never going to listen to the multiplicy of grievances/desires being shouted at them by a crowd no matter how big that crowd is, but if for every day no change is issued by them or their company a branch is demolished their attentions will be swiftly given.
Of course Wells Fargo is, in the big picture, an irrelevant nuisance in the sea of toxicity and so already a misplaced effort not worth the effort of maintaining a tactical demolition schedule with, but the point is 150 people can do a whole lot more for themselves and their supporters than wasting everyone's time and money getting arrested and never, ever getting face time with John if only they formulated better targets and tactics.
in an attempt to destroy the building?
Wow, that's genius, buddy. Except of course that branches can just re-open in other buildings. Er, oops.
And of course whoever did that would spend a few years in prison
Occupy is in a bigger mess than I thought if that's the ebst idea they have.
Oh, and BTW, Wells really didn't issue liar loans, so it's the wrong target anyway..
Did you even read the comment?
That's not what they were saying. They said getting arrested helps no one. And I think they meant it would have been more effective at raising attention from the CEO and others if they demolished the building, point being these 150 protesters are misplacing efforts and effecting little change by getting arrested. In the bottom paragraph they said Wells Fargo was a poor target anyhow. It wasn't a proposal for a specific alternative action, it was a statement eschewing the current methods and thought put into their actions.

Comments about Dynastar Cham 87 Skis 2013:
Great skis! Love how they carve but wide enough to float on powder. Also quick enough for moguls.
Good ski but might be a little soft

About Me Expert
This is a good ski but might be a little too soft for bigger/more aggressive skiers. I am 6'2" 220 and it felt like it did not want to hold on firmer snow. That being said, very quick under foot and lively. Better than most skis.

Chapin Paintings get NYC Show
: Photo by Eric Swangstu.
Aleah Chapin [AR '08] won this year's BP Portrait Award at London's National Portrait Gallery, so it's only right she get a NYC show; it's at Flowers on January 17.
Hurry, it's on now. New York's Flowers gallery is presenting Aleah Chapin's first solo show. As a continuation of her "Aunties Project," which began in the fall of 2011, this series of paintings examines Chapin's own personal history and the people who have shaped it. The exhibition will run from January 18th through February 23rd, 2013, with an opening reception on Thursday, January 17th, 2013, 6-8pm.
Aleah, who graduated in art from Cornish in 2008 with a B.F.A., won the this year's prestigious BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London for her painting Auntie (2012). How prestigious is the award? Paul Emsley, who painted the official portrait of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, that's been making big news of late, won the prize in 2007. The National Portrait Gallery is the home of British portraits that date back to the Renaissance.
Flowers says of her paintings in the show: "Chapin's controlled use of color creates an ethereal space replete with corporeal details and unaffected texture. The point of focus on each canvas gently mandates deference to the subjects; while immediate, a respectful gaze is established through technique. … Whereas her early nudes tended to leave the background neutral, with this collection of works Chapin comes to a place of synthesis between the flesh of the body and the fabric of the landscape. She captures the acute individuality of freckles on skin—or veins on a rock. The process of painting subjects whom she has known from birth allows her, and the viewer, a glimpse into the journey through life that each body has taken. The landscapes, at once real and fantastical, reflect the same contained and perfect chaos found on the skin."
Aleah Chapin is also the recipient of several other awards besides the BP Portrait Award, including the Posey Foundation Scholarship, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant and a Postgraduate Fellowship from the New York Academy of Art, where she received her master's degree. She lives and works in New York.

"It's My Party" Modern Princess DIY Printables now available in my Etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetScarletDesigns
We'd love you to leave a comment, but you need to be logged in.
Party Recap...
The theme I chose with my daughter, Lily was "It's My Party" with a modern princess twist.
I liked the idea of her wearing a t-shirt that said "It's My Party". I added a crown graphic to the logo and the modern princess theme came from there.
I designed all the printables, made all the food, did the decorations, coordinated the games and activities and took the photos. Yes, I am crazy!
It was a big, big effort, but my daughter, Lily, was very appreciative and had a great time – which made it all worthwhile.
Printables are available in my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetScarletDesigns
Just buy, print and create! Have a great party!

The Tycoon Gold Guide is one of Manaview's best inventions. ("Guide" is probably the wrong name for this thing, addon is better.) It's a new in-game addon that claims to automate the most powerful gold strategies in the game leading to an major increase in gold income. Some people are claiming 500% and more. It helps transform 'gold making' into a fun, quick, and much more profitable experience. (See the homepage here.)
This is something WoW players have been longing for since Vanilla and it has the power to completely change the way we make gold. Anything that takes the drudgery out of gold making is a good thing, right?
So, does Tycoon live up to the hype? I've received a copy, have been using it for a while, and will give you my honest review here.
As of now the Auction House module is installed and works well, also the Gathering module has been updated to all for gathering at all levels, not just Cata levels.
Does it work?
I'll get straight to what you want to know. Does Tycoon really work?
Yes, it absolutely works!
The authors claim that you can make 230% more gold by using Tycoon. I found this to be a conservative number. I personally used the addon for several days now and I've always managed to open my mailbox to over 500%-700% more gold than I normally get using the exact same strategies by myself. Your mileage may differ and you might even make more.
It's best feature? There's no more slogging through a PDF or website guide, wondering if it's been updated for the latest patches. Since Tycoon scans the market in real time it will always be up to date with current patches and expansions. (You can get all the details on their homepage, here.)
How Tycoon Works
The idea is simple, yet incredibly powerful.
Manaview took the best gold strategies in the game and made an addon that automates the difficult or most time consuming parts of the strategy. Since it's automated, it basically means they optimized the strategy so you're more efficient in doing it, resulting in potenitally a lot more gold than you would normally get.
There are four gold making strategies in Tycoon: Gathering, Grinding/Farming, Crafting, and Auction House Playing.
The addon intelligently studies your server's economy and shows you things like:
- Exactly what strategies will make you the most money among Gathering, Crafting, Farming, and buying/reselling.
- Exactly which item(s) will make you the most money, based on its calculations, and plenty of "next best" options.
- Optimized gathering routes and hot farming locations, sorted by how much gold per hour you can earn.
- It knows if too many people are using that strategy and will often times tells you to get an item with no competition but high in demand. This means you're the only one getting that particular item because there's no competition, resulting in getting more of them. And when there is a high demand you can sell your items for a premium price.
- Tycoon gets better as time goes on and it learn the economy of your server.
A More Detailed Walkthrough
When you startup Tycoon, the first thing you need to do is scan the Auction House to help Tycoon learn your economy. This is super quick and done with a click of a button. This is similar to Auctioneer, but it's a much quicker scan. When you first open the AH you will see a window like this one:
Just hit the "Start Scanning" button to begin.
When the scan is complete Tycoon has enough information to do its magic. A window will appear with lists of items ordered from top to bottom by how much Tycoon believes you will make, per hour, if you go for that item. (You should scan several times over several days to get the best results.) I'm impressed with how accurately Tycoon is able to give you solid advice on which items will make you the most money. For example, here's the Leatherworking screen. Wondering which items to make? This screen will tell you.
While these particular items won't exactly be the best in Mists of Pandaria, the idea will remain the same. The most profitable items will top the list.
Don't have your Leatherworking quite maxed out? No problem. Just scroll down until you find a recipe that you can make. Having a very high skill will help, though. Tycoon does a page like this for each of the crafting professions.
Often times, items that you never thought would make you the most gold per hour will appear at the top of the list. That's where Tycoon really comes in handy. It has the ability to scan through an enormous amount of data that would take a human several hours to figure out. People usually skip past the economy studying part and just go straight for the highest level items, but with Tycoon you'll discover those aren't always the items that will make you the most gold per hour.
For example, something that will only profit you a couple hundred gold might sell a lot faster than one that earns you more and those lower priced items might be easier to make.
It knows your economy better than a human ever can, it knows if the market is inflated and knows when there's too much competition. If situations aren't right to go for one item, Tycoon will give you another one. It's a good feeling to know you're always doing the strategy that makes you the most gold possible at that point in time. Tycoon does more than just tell you the best way to make the most gold. It shows you!
Let's say you're a skinner.
So I just click the farming button at the top and then click "skinning" on that drop down menu at the bottom. The top item on the list is now Mt. Hyjal Savage Leather. Hovering over the "add" button (the sack icon) shows that savage leather scraps and blackened dragonscales will also be collected.
When I first did this Tycoon estimated over 4,800 gold per hour of farming in that place. Naturally server prices vary, but since this pic was taken Savage leather has rarely dropped below 4g and is often 6+ (past patch 4.3, on my main server.)
Where is that place? It shows you! Click the line that you want to know the location for, Mt Hyjal Savage Leather, for example, and then hit the "go" button on the bottom right. The addon will mark up both your maps. Ditto for Herbalism or Mining. Take a look at this mining map:
Uldam mining route for Elementium, as drawn by Tycoon:
Skinning in Mt. Hyjal
The left image and the Uldam image is from the main map, the smaller image is the minimap as you approach the area. Now isn't that handy? (The yellow exclamation points are from a different addon.) So I ran (flew) down there and killed Dragonkin for awhile and found skins, scraps, and scales in pretty much the ratio that the addon predicted. No one else was there, either, which was nice. The mobs respawn fast, too, so if you want to farm for an hour, or several, you will come up with some pretty nice stacks of loot to send to your bank alt.
I went afk for a bit and then came back to notice the gold counter, which I had missed before. That 1185 gold per hour isn't bad, especially since it's about half AFK time. Much easier than grinding spiders in certain PvP zones (Tol Barad.) Naturally this gives you the oppotunity to race yourself…
If Tycoon tells me to mine say, Obsidium ore, all I need to do is click Gathering > Mining (from the drop down menu) and you'll see a list of mining suggestions. Click one, hit "Go" and it will give you highly optimized mining routes. This creates ant trails around your which guide you over the most populated mining node locations.
Here's the results for some Herb picking that I did. Tycoon gave me a path to follow for Twilight Highlands. The gold per hour is based on current herb prices and will vary from server to server and how distracted one gets from the business of herb picking. One loop around the map yeilded: 79 Twilight Jasmine (value: 520g,) 91 Cinderbloom (~80g total,) 40 Volatile life (~450g,) 8 Lifegiving Seeds. That's about 1k gold value for about 30 min "work." Not bad.
This was an awesome feature added to the Gathering Module and I can't go over all the features in this short review. But all the Strategy Modules have some kind of special feature that helps you get the most of that item in the shortest amount of time!
But this is only for High Level Gatherers, right?
Nope! Tycoon has been updated for gathering at all levels. Here's a mid level screen, showing 200+ gold per hour for gathering Copper Ore in Bloodmyst Isle (6th item in the image.)
The CONS
I could only find a couple of "bad things" about Tycoon.
Originally the gathering/farming modules were Cataclysm routes/materials only, but an update was been made for the gathering module. It now shows maps for Mining and Herbalism for all levels. The farming tab (killing things for skins and drops) is still Cata only. It doesn't show all possible routes, so it might not have one for the area you are leveling in right now, but it should show something that you can take advantage of.
Updates are free and are made regularly.
Sometimes Tycoon will put an item at the top of the Most Profitable list which isn't in very high demand. It does show you the "demand" of the item is low though. So, as long as you pay attention to that and don't go for any items that are low in demand, you should be able to quickly sell it. Otherwise, if you don't mind waiting, you will still sell it eventually.
You will need to do multiple scans over a period of days for Tycoon to really get a good handle on your server's market. This just means that Tycoon will get even more accurate over time. You don't need to worry about this for the farming/gathering sections.
The Auctioneer or Auctionator addon (either one works) is also a requirement, but that's free and easy to get. These addons do the scanning work and Tycoon puts it all together.
Is Tycoon the truly revolutionary product that is going to change Gold Making forever. Maybe not, but it's a very useful tool. Once you've used Tycoon, attempting to play without it will be uncomfortable, especially if you're into gathering or crafting.
The addon is well designed, easy to use, and the bugs have been pretty much stomped out. With the data, tools, and special features available with Tycoon, it is very hard NOT to make more gold using it.
The creators have gone above and beyond everything you will need to make far more more gold per hour or your time. Every aspect of the gold strategies included has been enhanced by helpful data or features to help you do it better and faster. Everything you need to make a lot more gold is right here.
If you're looking to make more gold – a LOT more gold – I highly recommend checking out the Tycoon Gold Guide. It is by far the best way to make the most gold possible in the shortest amount of time.

Feb 20 2013 by Our Correspondent, Heswall News
WIRRAL Autistic Society has launched the biggest appeal in its 45 year history to redevelop its original home.
The first phase of the Lifetime Appeal will see Raby Hall, in Bromborough, completely redeveloped at a cost of £755,000 to provide state-of-the-art self-contained accommodation for eight people suffering from autism.
The first building phase will be followed by the redevelopment of the society's four other properties on the site.
In total the work is expected to take 10 years and cost a further £2.5m.
The appeal was launched last week at Eaton Park, the home of the society's President the Duke of Westminster and hosted by Vice-President Dame Lorna Muirhead, Lord Lieutenant on Merseyside.
The society's fundraiser Rick Myers said: "Good quality residential accommodation designed specifically for those with autism is in very short supply. There are only 3,000 places available
throughout the UK to provide for half a million sufferers.
"In 2010 we opened The Ferns, a six bedroom respite centre, at a cost of £1.3m raised entirely though charitable giving. We now have a far greater task ahead but already we have planned a range of fundraising activities.
"The people of Wirral have been magnificent in supporting us in the past and I'm sure they will continue to do so in the future.
"We want to build something that will not only improve the quality of life for those with autism – we want to build something that we can leave for future generations."
The appeal has already received a donation of £7,500 from Mike Rice, the owner of the Queen's Royal Hotel in New Brighton. The hotel adopted the society as its charity more than a year ago.
Mr Rice, who attended the launch of the appeal, said: "I was very touched by a video which was screened illustrating the urgent need for updated, modern residential facilities which will make such a difference to the clients' lives.
"It is a great pleasure to donate the first 1% that needs to be raised and we have a number of other fundraising activities lined up."
Fundraisers say the society's current facilities are dated and none of the rooms has its own bathroom.
Wirral Autistic Society was set up in 1968 by a group of six Wirral families to provide support for their children as they approached adulthood.
Their first fundraising event was a coffee morning which brought in 62p but within seven years enough money had been raised to buy Raby Hall.
It now employs more than 500 people and plans to take on more staff in the coming year.
While the majority of people the society cares for are from Merseyside, it looks after more than 300 people from all over the country.

text: The Duluth News Tribune obtained copies of the most recent inspection reports of all traditional sit-down restaurants and kitchens that have a high amount of prep work in Duluth, Hermantown and Proctor. According to the St. Louis County Health Department, which conducts the inspections, the most important aspects for consumers to know about a restaurant are the critical violations, those that are most likely to contribute to a foodborne illness, and the number of repeat violations. Most violations are typically corrected by the required compliance date, which may be the day of the inspection or up to 30 days for non-critical, construction type violations, the health department said.
