Sam and Fuzzy
Q & A: Production Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an
with "Q & A" in the subject line!
"What happened to the Alexander Stake Rehabilitation Center? Is the faux-Denny's basically like "outpatient" treatment? "
The Stake Center is definitely still in business! I picture it as a sort of vampire-equivalent to a big commercial rehab center. The faux-Denny's, on the other hand, is probably more like a community outreach center.
"I find it odd Rexford hasn't once brought up Fuzzy's old identity as Eric whenever the subject of Hazel comes up. Or any of the past clients for that matter. And Fuzzy hasn't really made a move to ask Rexford about it either, as a fellow board member. Is Fuzzy going to ever ask Rexford about Eric?"
Fuzzy expects Rexford to remember him -- after all, they even
met once post-Eric
-- and is
surprised to find he doesn't
. In fact, none of the committee members remember him, even though many would have met Eric back when he was Hazel's partner. Sin thinks it's because Hazel and Brain
erased everyone's memories of both Eric
, including Rexford's. But why would they do that? Find out... uh, eventually!
"You've had some experience with mini-books. Do you think they are a good starting point for merchandising? I'd like put something in print but I don't have the readership or the content for a larger volume. What was your experience with printing smaller books with regards to cost, return, and availability of printing options?"
I think mini-books are a great way of testing the waters before doing a full-sized book, absolutely! But a mini isn't necessarily the best thing to do
. It depends on what you have in mind, and how large your audience is.
Basically, the thing that makes or breaks any merchandise idea is the minimum production run necessary to get a reasonable per-unit cost. With full-sized books, I feel like the ideal minimum run is 1000. Smaller runs or print-on-demand services are totally options, but because of the higher per unit cost, you will either have to sell at a very inflated price or not make very much money. That's why my personal advice for artists is to wait until they can move 1000 books, and focus on other kinds of items until then. (Of course, everyone's situation is different and no one has to listen to me!)
The minibooks I made were still printed at a professional printers, but they were 32-48 pages and staple-bound. I did a run of 500, which elevated the unit price a bit, so I had to sell them for $7 or $8. (Which was a little pricey, in my opinion... thank you so much to everyone who still bought them!) But they were still much cheaper to make than regular books, which made them a much less scary and risky proposition. So I'm glad I did it!
But you know, there are other ways of doing minis that are less of a commitment. If you have a small audience and want to dip your toe into publishing, do it zine style! Print the pages at a copy shop (put four pages on a single sideways sheet of paper, then fold it in half) and staple-bind them yourself. Heck, you can do a run of ten if you want. Pick the method that you think best fits your audience side, and that you are willing to risk paying for.
And of course, there are other things you can make that don't require massive production runs. With most t-shirt screen printers, a four-colour design is perfectly affordable if you order 50 shirts or more. With art prints, you can do runs as small as... well, one! And digital products like ebooks or donation wallpapers cost to "produce" at all. (And might help you gauge how many buying readers you have!)
All these things are options -- minis or otherwise -- are things you can try before taking the big, scary plunge of mass-produced books. You just have to figure out which ones make the most sense for your style of art and your audience.
That's a wrap for this week, team! See you on Monday.

Present Bear in the Land of the Snow Elves
We pause our current storyline briefly for a couple updates of special holiday nonsense!
As some long-time readers may have gathered, I am inordinately fascinated with a particular kind of TV Christmas Special: the kind that adamantly refuses to tap into either Christian
secular traditional holiday mythology. No Jesus, wisemen or drummer boys; no Santa, reindeer or snowmen... just some totally original story that only minorly grazes a handful of holiday symbols or themes in the vaguest way possible.
The most common of these are the Christmas specials for an established fantasy series -- be it the
Star Wars
How to Train Your Dragon
-- where real Christmas can't actually exist, so a Christmas-esque holiday has to be invented. But the truly special ones, like
Present Bear in the Land of the Snow Elves
, are based on absolutely nothing whatsoever. (I would list some real-world examples, but it's been so long since my childhood-self watched any of them that they have all kind of blurred together into... well, into something that greatly resembles the special in today's comic, actually.)
We return on Friday! See you then, team.

Linux Conquers the Canaries
The Canary Isles now rely almost entirely on Linux in education.
Many Canaries' schools and the major universities all use Kubuntu – a derivate of Ubuntu which uses the KDE desktop. According to the project manager the schools are using Meduxa, which is based on Kubuntu (Breezy Badger), KDE 3.5.6 and a selection of educational software including vocabulary trainers, astronomy software and calculation tools. Canaries' universities use Bardinux, derivative of Kubuntu Feisty Fawn with various add-on packages from various fields of science.
Thus far, 300 schools have deployed Linux, with another 100 to follow by the end of the year. All told, 8000 computers will be running the free operating system on the islands. All 1100 state schools will be moving to the Meduxa operating system by the first half of 2009.

If you thought you were just going to waltz right into the work week without seeing something super creepy on the Internet, I'm here to ruin that possibility for you today. A friend of mine sent me a link this morning to a Groupon special that ... well ... it's one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. It's a discount on a super-personalized stuffed animal version of yourself, courtesy of iamastuffedanimal.com. Essentially you order your doll and send in some photos and they make this creepy, stuffed version of you.
Which ... great. Let's all carry around miniature versions of ourselves that probably couldn't be used as weapons. This sounds like a fine idea. But I take issue with the entire concept. When you turn a person into a lifelike, semi-lifelike or entirely fictionalized toy, it's called a "doll." Yes, humans are animals and a stuffed toy version of ourselves could technically be called a stuffed animal, but let's be normal and use words how they were meant to be used. These are dolls. And dolls are inherently creepy, so the IAASA creations are just terrifying. To me. Maybe to you too. Let's never buy these, OK?

SLAMXHYPE Giveaway | Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Co. California Selvage Denim
When we first saw these great new Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Co. California Selvage Denim Jeans, we were so impressed we had to get our hands on some for our loyal Facebook Fans. We have 4 pairs to giveaway, some of the best jeans we've seen in a while, you won't be disappointed.
All you need to do to enter is become a fan of SLAMXHYPE on Facebook if you're not already, and tell us your opinion on the return of Workwear trends in Menswear here (Leave us your waist size in your message too).
C.N. Williamson and E.E. "Colonel" Dickie began their business careers in the "vehicle and harness" business in Bryan, Texas. In 1918, the name changed to U.S. Overall Company and in 1922, C. Don Williamson joined with his father and cousin and renamed it the Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Co. From its conception as a bib overall company, today Dickies has grown to be the number one manufacturer of work apparel worldwide.
Dickies, known for its tough reliable clothing has drawn on this heritage to produce Dickies California Selvage denim. It was only a matter of time before Dickies delved deep into its history and realized it was time to go back to basics to produce a quality denim whose attention to detail is second to none!
Made from the finest Zimbabwean cotton then woven into red selvage denim fabric in Japan on vintage shuttle looms. The denim is then constructed by a small family run Japanese manufacturer- whom Dickies are their only US clients. No detail has been overlooked in the process of making this denim, right down to the classic workwear cut and the reproduction of the old Dickies union labels, creating an authentic workwear denim trouser.

Dutch service can be a bit gruff, but Novella and Jan, the proprietors of the lovely Blue Sheep B&B are anything but. And their splurge-worthy establishment has a friendly, Italian vibe—in the heart of Amsterdam (just minutes from the train station and Dam Square).
The three guest rooms at the Blue Sheep are uniquely decorated. Jan is a photographer by trade, and the couple clearly has an eye for design. From plush chairs and couches bursting with color to the occasional religious icon, rustic charm pervades here.
The "Orange Room" has a private bathroom while the "Blue" and "Green" rooms share facilities (note that the Green Room is upstairs from the bathroom). The private bathroom we saw had a (backlit!) bathtub sitting against an exposed-brick wall.
The Blue Sheep also offers three suites, which sleep three to four people each and are equipped with private bathrooms. And in addition to a coffee maker and satellite TV, all six rooms have a DVD player and a selection of films for the whole family. A few suites have fully-stocked kitchens.
Overall, The Blue Sheep reminded us of why family-run places, when done right, can make for the coziest hotel experiences. Breakfast is available for an additional charge.

Nov 09
I couldn't believe my eyes. Surely it could not be – not fire! Not fire coming out from under the shroud on my outboard motor! And not now! Even when you work for a fishing magazine, you still get all jacked up for a weekend fishing trip. My fishing buddy was my co-worker, Jim Edlund – Web Ed. Jim as I refer to him on Facebook. Jim and I have talked often about fishing together and filming it for a web-TV project known around the office as "The Greg & Jim Show" -- although we are lobbying for "Fishin' Musicians," apologies to John Candy and SCTV, because we both play in bands. But despite having worked with each other for nine months, our schedules had aligned only once to fish together. So it was welcome news when we got hall passes from our families and bands on the same weekend for a rod-and-reel road trip. Months earlier, Minnesota bass stick Josh Douglas -- co-winner of the Fishing Club-sponsored North American Bass Circuit's Lake Minnetonka tournament -- had invited me to join him for some arm-rattling, late-fall, cold-water swimbait fishing. I was intrigued and made plans to shoot footage for FishingClub.com. The trip was set for last weekend, which was the Minnesota Deer Hunting Opener. Jim's hunting-opener plans had been scuttled, so I invited him on the swimbait shoot. We decided to take my modest tub as a camera boat -- Jim would film from there and I'd shoot footage in Josh's boat. Josh would pre-fish the swimbait lake on Friday and we'd meet him at first light on Saturday morning at the ramp. Then, after we captured the swimbait footage, Jim and I would drive further north to hit some lakes near his boyhood home of Battle Lake, MN. By 2:30 p.m. last Friday, our office was already a ghost town. All the Hunting Club personnel had long since departed for tree stands, as had half the Fishing Club staff. Jim and I too were feeling the call of the wild, but it was a smallmouth siren song that serenaded us to unlash ourselves from our cubicles and head to a small metro-area river. "Why burn sunlight driving?" I asked Jim. "We could hit the Rum River until sundown, then drive in the dark." "Makes perfect sense," He replied. I can't be sure, but we might have left the office a little early … The sun was still above the treeline when we launched my boat. I'd been eager to get on the Rum River fall smallmouth bite for almost a full year. I'd filmed there the previous November with Josh and bass blogger Rich Lindgren of Rich's Bassin' Blog, so I was all jacked up like a kid on Christmas morning, visions of 4-pound smallies dancing in my head. Watch this video, and you'll understand why: All that was running through my mind as flames shot out from under the shroud of my outboard. Could our trip be over before it began? Would those huge smallies have to wait? Would we miss the much ballyhooed largemouth swimsuit bite? And it's all my fault? What an embarrassment! Sure, my boat is nothing special – a 1985 Ebko runabout with a homemade marine-carpeted deck for casting to bass and situating a foot-operated trolling motor. That's not what embarrassed me. That boat is what I can afford right now, and I'm cool with that. But flames? Seriously? What kind of angler doesn't keep his outboard motor properly maintained? And there's the rub – my 85-horse Johnson had started like clockwork all summer, purred like a kitten even at low idle, and had never given me a moment of anxiety on the water. And I had bragged up her performance some when Jim first saw her, offering both an apology and an endorsement, much like Han Solo when he first introduced Luke Skywaker to the Millenium Falcon – "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."
Apparently my tub, doesn't have it where counts. Those flames were like slaps in the face of my pride in my ride. I couldn't imagine what was running through Jim's head as the flames danced from the motor and I professed incredulity -- "I don't understand! This doesn't make sense! Seriously, I've never had a minute of trouble with her!" I had a fire extinguisher onboard, knew exactly where it was, and calmly pulled it out and tossed it to Jim. Moments later, he tossed it back – didn't work! More smoke. More flames. My brain raced -- motor is connected by a gas line to 6 gallons of fuel -- fuel is right at our feet – an enormous Molotov cocktail, moments from ignition. "I'll pull the gas line," Jim said calmly, executing the maneuver in concert with his announcement. "I've got a bailing bucket," I said, grabbing a 2-liter bottle with the top cut off. I had considered throwing it away numerous time, but had not yet – my Eagle Scout training echoing "Be Prepared" somewhere in my consciousness. Two, 2-liter scoops of water and the flames disappeared. The smoke cleared. Did I dare open the shroud? Would a sudden rush of oxygen flood a remaining flame with fuel, exploding in our faces? Hadn't we just posted a blog about proper boat maintenance, complete with a photo of a flaming outboard? Would we die in the worst way possible – ironically? Dateline: Minneapolis – Two Fishing Writers Ignore Own Advice, Die in Boat Fire
I unhooked the motor's front shroud latch, slowly inching it upward. So far, so good. No more flames. I removed the hood. No obvious mechanical damage. All hoses and wiring seemed fine, but there was obviously a gas leak that needed repair. Jim pumped the bulb and gas poured from a bad section of hose off the carb. I wondered what Jim was thinking -- would he want to pack it in, wave the white flag, pull the boat and head home? I was already formulating a pitch to forge ahead, using just the trolling motor. At full charge, my deep-cycle marine battery would afford us 6 hours of fishing or more. "No retreat, no surrender fishing," Jim said. "We've got hall passes for the weekend—and I can smell the big bass," I replied. "Failure's not an option." So it was settled. We'd forge ahead, damn the torpedos! We were all in. My phone buzzed. A text. It was Josh Douglas. He'd been pre-fishing the swimbait lake all day, finding spots to film the following morning. I read the text aloud: "Not a bite yet. Super windy. 40-mph gusts, rain in the forecast. Might need to reschedule." The swimbait bite was off. My outboard was dead. Terrible weather was headed our way. Jim finished sealing up the leaky hose with electrical tape. He filled the 2-liter bottle. "Crank the motor," he said. "I'll watch the it and stand by with the water." I turned the key. The motor purred to life. No smoke. No flames. I realized I'd been holding my breath. I exhaled, put the motor in gear. "So far, so good," Jim said. "I'll keep the hood off and keep an eye on it as we idle to your first spot, but I think we're good to go. … No retreat, no surrender." He grinned. "Failure's not an option," I replied, grinning back. "We'll head upriver to that first bend. There's some nice current breaks up there and a dark mud bank that might be holding warmth the smallies could be relating to in this cold water." "Tubes?" Jim asked. "Yep, green-pumpkin." I said. "How's the motor?" "Running fine," he replied. "We might be out of the woods." "Speaking of woods, we'll start by casting to that big lay down with the submerged branches," I said. I shut down the motor, grabbed a spinning rod and fired a green-pumpkin Berkley Powertube toward the submerged branches. Jim did the same. Two casts later, I felt that familiar "sponginess" of smallie tube bite – the initial weight on the line when the fish has sucked in your tube and turns to swim off with it. "Fish on!" I yelled, setting the hook. Snap. I broke off. "Shoot, I forgot to re-tie after fishing the Zebra mussels last week on Mille Lacs!" I exclaimed. "Those little suckers nick the heck out of your line." "But they're here," Jim said. "And they're biting!" "And the motor's not on fire anymore," I added, laughing and grabbing another spinning rod pre-rigged with a Powertube in a brown-gold sparkle pattern and firing another cast back at the tree. "Failure's not an option," Jim reiterated, firing a cast in the same direction. "We got a little more than 2 hours of light left," I said. "They're here. Let's get 'em." DID WE CATCH 'EM? CHECK BACK NEXT WEEK FOR PART III! *** You can contact North American Fishing Club Social Media Editor "Web Guy Greg" Huff at firstname.lastname@example.com, follow him on Twitter at lazy_ike, or friend him on Facebook at Web Guy Greg.

Mar 11th, 2013 at 11:00AM: British mountaineer Mark Roberts got more than he bargained for when he attempted to climb Snowdon Mountain last month. Roberts was using ice axes to make his way up the 3560-foot peak, which happens to be the tallest in Wales, when he was struck by falling ice. The force of the impact knocked him off the steep face and caused him to tumble more than 100 feet down the side of the mountain, all...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

COIN TOSS: The Broncos call heads — and it's tails. The Titans will receive to start the game.
Q1 15:00: Matt Prater is ready to kick off, and he booms it midway into the end zone, where Tennessee's returner whiffs when trying to field it, and it bounces out of the back of the end zone for a touchback. The defensive starters are on the field — Perrish Cox and Champ Bailey are at cornerback, Renaldo Hill and Brian Dawkins are at safety, D.J. Williams, Mario Haggan, Jason Hunter and Robert Ayers are at linebacker and Kevin Vickerson, Jamal Williams and Justin Bannan are on the line.
Q1 14:43: After an incomplete pass on first down, Chris Johnson takes a carry on second down for a gain of two. On third-and-8, Vince Young lines up in the shotgun. He finds a receiver, but it's a yard short of the first down, bringing out former Bronco Brett Kern to punt. Deep to receive is Eddie Royal. He doesn't quite get ahold of the punt, and the Broncos will start at their own 43-yard line after the 28-yard punt.
Q1 13:10: A loss of four on a run by Laurence Maroney is the first offensive play of the day for the Broncos. The starters are Kyle Orton at quarterback, Ryan Clady, Stanley Daniels, J.D. Walton, Chris Kuper and Ryan Harris — making his first start of the season — on the offensive line, Maroney at running back, Jabar Gaffney, Brandon Lloyd and Royal at receiver and Daniel Graham at tight end.
Q1 12:34: After Maroney's run, two incomplete passes bring up fourth down, and Britton Colquitt is in to punt. His kick sails to about the 18-yard line before being returned 10 yards to the 28, where the Titans will take over.
Q1 12:28: The first play of the Titans' drive is a pitch to Johnson, who finds room and picks up 7 yards. Second down brings a quick pass from Young to tight end Jared Cook, who is brought down by Brian Dawkins after a 17-yard gain. Now at the Denver 48-yard line, Young drops back and lofts a pass to Bo Scaife — another completion to a tight end. The 25-yard gain gives the Titans another first down.
Q1 10:34: Ayers bursts into the backfield to take down Johnson for a loss of a yard on first down. On second down, Young drops back into the shotgun and quickly throws the ball away when he sees a blitzing Dawkins in his face. On third-and-11, Young hands off to Johnson on a draw, but the running back is brought down short of the first-down marker. Rob Bironas is in to attempt a field goal — a 35-yarder. It's no good, and Dawkins sprints onto the field to celebrate with his teammates.
Q1 9:12: After buying time in the pocket, Orton connects with Royal for a 23-yard gain on first down, putting the Broncos at their own 48-yard line. Second down brings a run for no gain by Maroney, who is flipped upside down and the ball comes loose, sending the crowd into a frenzy as it's returned for a touchdown by the defense — but Maroney was ruled down by contact before the ball came loose. On the ensuing play, Orton quickly finds Lloyd for a 14-yard gain and a first down. On the next play, Correll Buckhalter is stopped for no gain on a run. Second down brings a sack by Dave Ball, and on third-and-15, Cortland Finnegan blitzes for another sack, forcing a Denver punt. Colquitt's kick bounces in the end zone for a touchback.
Q1 6:02: On first down, Young drops off a pass to Johnson, who is taken down immediately by D.J. Williams. After the three-yard gain, Denver calls a timeout — its first of the half.
Q1 5:18: Johnson finds a little bit of room and makes it count, squeezing out 5 yards on a quick run. On third-and-3, Young connects with Justin Gage for a 14-yard gain and a first down. The two connect again on the ensuing play, earning another first down after a 16-yard gain. Johnson is stuffed after a gain of a yard by Jason Hunter on first down. Second down is a pitch to Johnson, who is tackled by Perrish Cox and Ronald Fields after a gain of 6. On third-and-4, Young finds Nate Washington for a first down. The ensuing play is a run by Johnson, but Mario Haggan is there to rip the ball out of his hands just as Dawkins lays a big hit on him. Ryan McBean picks up the fumble and returns it one yard before being tackled, giving the Broncos the ball at their own 27-yard line. Tennessee is challenging the ruling on the field.
Q1 1:39: The crowd is upset after the ruling on the field is confirmed — Broncos ball. But now the LP crowd is on its feet and screaming as Orton and the offense are back on the field. Maroney is hit hard for no gain on a run. Orton finds Royal for a quick gain of four on second down, making it third-and-6 at the 31-yard line. Orton drops back into the shotgun. He takes the snap and is brought down for the third Titans sack of the day. Colquitt is in to punt, but the first quarter ends before the ball is snapped.
Q2 15:00: Colquitt's punt is a 39-yarder, which is fair caught at the Tennessee 39-yard line. First down brings an incompletion, and second down is a run by Johnson for a gain of 3. On third-and-7, Perrish Cox is there to break up a pass intended for Kenny Britt, forcing a Titans punt. Eddie Royal catches it at his own 20, returning it 12 yards to the 32.
Q2 13:37: Orton fires a pass deep to Lloyd, who leaps to make an acrobatic catch for a gain of 23. The ensuing first down brings a quick screen pass to Buckhalter, who picks up 8. On second down, Orton tries to find Lloyd but the pass falls incomplete. Third-and-2 has Orton lined up in the shotgun. He's hit hard at the knees as he lets the pass go — it's incomplete, but there's a flag on the play for offsides on the defense, and another flag for roughing the passer. The Broncos accept the latter, moving the ball to the Tennessee 22-yard line.
Q2 11:56: Orton quickly throws a pass to Royal, who sprints up the sideline with a handful of blockers in front of him — good for a 17-yard gain to the 5-yard line. On the ensuing first down, the Titans are called for a neutral-zone infraction. Now it's first-and-goal at the 3-yard line. Orton drops back and quickly finds Royal in the end zone for the first points of the game. Prater's extra point is up and in, and the Broncos are on top.
Q2 11:24: Prater's kickoff is fielded at the 13-yard line, and the returner — Marc Mariani — gets out to the 29-yard line, where the Titans will take over.
Q2 11:19: Javon Ringer comes in for Chris Johnson on first down, and makes his rep count. He takes the handoff and races 54 yards down the sideline, giving the Titans a first down at the Denver 17-yard line. Johnson is back in for the next play, and he's stopped after a gain of 2.
Q2 9:57: Young finds Kenny Britt for a 7-yard gain, bringing up third-and-1 at the 8-yard line. The ensuing play is another connection from Young to Britt, this time in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. Bironas' extra point ties the game.
Q2 9:18: Demaryius Thomas is back deep to return the kickoff.He fields it inside the 5 and bursts to about the 40-yard line, lowering his shoulder at the end of the return. Denver takes over at its own 39-yard line. With Dan Gronkowski in at fullback, Maroney takes a pitch, reverses field and picks up 8 yards. A Titan is down after the play — it's Derrick Morgan.
Q2 8:54: On second-and-2, Maroney is tackled for a loss of a yard. Now third-and-3, Orton lofts a pass to Maroney, who can't come away with it, bringing up fourth down. Colquitt sends his punt to the 18-yard line, where Mariani signals for a fair catch.
Q2 7:46: A fake handoff to the left is followed by Young rolling to his right and finding Nate Washington for a 19-yard gain. The next play is a pass over the head of Washington with Bailey in tight coverage — but a flag is thrown, and Bailey is called for pass interference. Tennessee now has the ball at the Denver 34-yard line. Johnson takes a handoff on first down and tries to bounce outside, but there's a flag on the play — holding on the Titans. It's now first-and-19 at the 43-yard line, and Young completes a quick pass to Johnson for a 6-yard gain. On second-and-13, Scaife catches a pass for a 2-yard gain. Third-and-11 brings a scramble by Young after he couldn't find anyone open downfield — but he's brought down for a loss of a yard by D.J. Williams on the sack. The Titans elect to punt from the 36-yard line, and Kern's kick sails into the end zone for a touchback.
Q2 4:43: On first down, Orton fires a pass to Maroney, who follows his blockers and picks up 9 yards. Second down brings a quick pass from Orton toward Lloyd, but it's tipped at the line for an incompletion. On third-and-1, Orton keeps it for a quarterback sneak, picking up the first down. The next play is a play-action pass to Daniel Graham for a gain of a yard. Second-and-9 has Orton lined up under center before completing it to Lloyd for a first down. Maroney picked up a big block in the backfield to give the quarterback time to throw the pass.
Q2 2:30: Orton quickly fires to Lloyd for a gain of 4 yards on first down. Now second-and-6, Orton is in the shotgun, getting the play off just before the two-minute warning. He throws to Lloyd again — the receiver's fifth catch — for a 12-yard gain and a first down at the 37-yard line.
Q2 1:56: On first down, Orton avoids pressure and tries to get it to Demaryius Thomas, but the pass is broken up by Alterraun Verner. Second-and-10 brings a quick completion to Royal for another first down at the 26-yard line. With the clock winding down, Orton hands off to Maroney, who picks up a big chunk of yards — but holding is called on Stanley Daniels, making it first-and-20 back at the 36-yard line. Orton dumps a pass off to Maroney, who is tackled immediately after a gain of a yard. With less than a minute to play, Orton rolls to his right and keeps running, getting back to just about the original line of scrimmage. It's now third-and-11, and the crowd slowly rises to its feet. Orton finds Royal, but he's two yards short of the first down. After a Denver timeout, Matt Prater trots out for a 36-yard field goal attempt. It's good, and Denver retakes the lead.
Q2 0:23: Prater's kickoff is fielded at the 15-yard line, and it's returned to the 37-yard line. With 19 seconds remaining, Young takes off running, and he's chased out of bounds at the Denver 45-yard line. Now 11 seconds are remaining, and Young is in the shotgun. The Broncos bring pressure, and Justin Bannan takes down Young just as he throws the pass away. Denver calls its final timeout of the half with six seconds remaining.
Q2 0:06: Young is in the shotgun, and he quickly finds Britt at the 37-yard line and the receiver runs out of bounds with one second remaining. Bironas is in to attempt a 55-yard field goal. It's up and in, tying the score at halftime.

Food Hopping in Binondo Chinatown
Ok, Here is my Separate Things to do tip for the Binondo Chinatown and eating along the Chinatown Area is one big adventure and also one filling for your tummy hehhehe. You can find almost all the Cuisines of china here in chinatown like the Shanghai Cuisine, Beijing Cuisine, Cantonese Cuisine, Fujian Cuisine and more plus an amalgalm of Chinese and filipino offerings. Prices range from the very cheap from the holes in the wall up to the fit for the emperor type at the fine dining restaurants and example of the food are: steaming hot congee, dimsum and assorted dumplings may be found at either the more upscale restaurants or at the quaint sidewalk teahouses similar to those found in Chinese market places. Chinese cuisine cooked the Fukienese, Macanese, and Cantonese styles may also be found in restaurant menus. Pastries and sweet meats like the hopia (a flaky pastry with purple yam or mung bean stuffing,) machang (rolled up sticky rice with meat filling wrapped in banana leaf) may be bought at the bakeries and food stalls scattered around the Binondo Area so what are you waiting?

A Treasure Trove of Chinese History in the Phil.
I will do a separate tip for the Food Tripping in Manila Chinatown.
Like in other places in the globe, Manila has it's own Chinatown but unlike in other Chinatowns in Other Countries, The Chinatown in the Philippines is not that big since the chinese are well assimilated in Philippine Society. The Manila Chinatown is a treasure trove of Chinese History in the Philippines. The Chinatown was called the "Isla De Binondo" in the Spanish Times and they say that during the trading galleon centuries, the mercantile town of Binondo served as the center of trading post between Asia and the New World.
Certain streets became known for the types of establishments found there. The 393-meter long Calle Escolta, made of imported stones from Hong Kong, was the place where one could find newly arrived European and American products. Calle Rosario and Calle San Fernando, on the other hand, served as the marketplace for Chinese products. Chinese artisans resided along Calle Anloague, while stores and panciteries were centralized in Calle Nueva. Calle Santo Cristo housed apothecaries, opium headquarters and gambling houses. The famous Teatro de Binondo was located at Calle San Jacinto. Calle Jaboneros was named as such because it was then the center of the soap-making industry, and Calle Fundidor was the perfect place to find statues and statuettes, and metalworks.- Historical Travel

Chaotic Manila Chinatown - eat some siopao!
I have been to many Chinatowns around the world, but I consider the one in Manila the best because it is very nostalgic for me. The streets are very small and my father would drive me around with his Lambretta motor scooter and then we would look for siopao (which is meat in a white floury cover) and also HOPIA ( which is a sweet mung delicacy)....yummy!
It strecthes from Santa Cruz Church in the east and all the way to Binondo Church in the west. And areas of it had been burned down and then rebuilt - but it is terribly congested and a bit overcrowded with buildings --- a sore to the eye sometimes, but i think it is what makes it special and "authentic". Very colourful place to visit...Especially on Chinese New year with the dragon parades --- awesome sight for tourists!
Chinatown in Manila is also famous for all the sales, specially the gold jewelry (at Escolta and Ongpin) that can be bought by weight. but when you're there, just wear simple clothes to avoid standing out. But if you have blond or red hair, I can't help you with that, hehehe...- Arts and Culture

Visit the Temple of the God of War, Kuang Kong
Kuang Kong, AKA the God of War, AKA Patron of Martial Arts, AKA Patron of Scholars (when seated/reading). Kuang Kung who was a powerful and loyal general is also protector of Quan Yin, Goddess of Mercy. As C. Celdran puts it, in the spirit of assimilation, the Chinese believers calls Kuang Kong, Santiago. Go figure.
This Buddhist temple is open to the public. You can light incense sticks and put them in the urn at the entrance of the temple and utter your prayers. There is also these red wooden half moons you can use to have your fortunes told. Couch your questions in such a way that they're answerable by YES or NO! Swirl a pair of these wooden half disks over your incense sticks so they catch the smoke and then throw them to the floor. Identical faces means NO. Opposing figures means YES!
BTW, my friend S. L. tells me that, to quote him, "Guang Kong falls under Taoism though in Chinese religion, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are often portrayed together in the same temple." Thanks for the info S. L.
They appreciate donations of any amount.- Road Trip

Sta. Cruz Church
The first Santa Cruz Church (often abbreviated to Sta. Cruz Church) was erected in 1608 by the Society of Jesus, better known as Jesuits, as a parish church for the swelling ranks of Chinese immigrants to Manila, many of whom had converted to the Catholic faith. The original structure was twice damaged by earthquakes, and totally destroyed in World War II. The present building, completed in 1957, is essentially Baroque and somewhat reminiscent of the Spanish-built mission churches.

16th Century Binondo Church
Basilica de San Lorenzo Ruiz
Located in the Chinatown area of Manila, Binondo Church is one of the oldest church in the Philippines (built in 1596).
The original structure suffered a lot from typhoons and earthquakes over the past years since its erection. The only thing that remains as original is the octagonal bell tower.
Patron is Saint Lorenzo Ruiz (1st Filipino Saint) who served in the church as altar boy during his younger years.
By the way, the church is the Heritage Conservation Society.- Religious Travel
Come Visit Chinatown
There are lots of things to do at Chinatown: Buy appliances that cost lesser, find suppliers for your restaurant or whatever business, buy jewelry, customize jewelry, buy Chinese medicine, buy authentic Chinese food, etcetera, etcetera. It's within Manila, but it seems like you're in another country (just like any other China town, I guess).
BTW, the First Filipino saint, St. Lorenzo Ruiz, was born in Binondo, Manila (the location of China Town)- Historical Travel
- Arts and Culture
- Road Trip
Chinatown is not a clearly defined suburb but a cultural and business district that takes in parts of Santa Cruz and Binondo, roughly the area between the three Chinese-Philippine friendship arches called the Welcome Marker. From Ermita you cross the Pasig River over the Jones Bridge, between the Immigration Office and the GPO, to the First Welcome Gate. The southern part of Chinatown begins here. From Quintin Paredes St, which runs through the gate, several little streets seem to wind crazily towards the big east-west curve of Ongpin St, the eastern end of which is marked at Plaza Santa Cruz by the Third Welcome Gate (Arch of Goodwill). Ongpin St is the main business street of Chinatown, with well-stocked Chinese grocers, herb-scented drug stalls and spacious restaurants. However, you can also find exotic shops and little teahouses in the sidestreets leading off Ongpin St, eg in the narrow confines of Carvajal St. Unlike the Chinatowns in other Asian cities, this one is very busy on Sunday.

Even Manila has a Chinatown. The Chinese presence in Manila is strong. During the Spanish times, the Chinese were kept out of the walled city and they settled across the Pasig River in what's known as Binondo.
Like most Chinatowns, Manila's Chinatown has all the proverbial sights sounds and smell. Yet it is unique because of the presence of horse drawn carriages called calesas and it is flanked by baroque-style churches, Binondo church and Santa Cruz church.
Most of the Chinese in Binondo are Catholics but they maintain some of their Chinese traditions- Family Travel

Bring a wide angle lens
That Dragon is long, so you'll need a real wide angle lens to get the whole thing. Of course, if Dragons are not your thing, or if you forgot to bring your wide angle, there's always Rick you can aim your camera at. Right, Syl? :o)
Visit Chinatown, wander down Ongpin Street where you will see many gold shops. You can get truly lost in this area as you wander between mechanical items, jewellery, restaurants, electronic goods.
You could see lots of Chinese/ Filipino Stablishment around this place... all great restaurant they have here.
Detail of Dragon Dance
Interestingly, the Dragon Dance is now performed by ethnic Filipinos and not by the ethnic Chinese residents of Manila's Chinatown.
Spend Chinese New Year in Manila's Chinatown
The Lunar New Year, typically in February of each year, is a big event celebrated by Filipino ethnic Chinese in Manila's Chinatown. Try to catch the Dragon Dance.

The Fabulous Hubcaps is returning to the Grantsville Days celebration. (Submitted photo / June 27, 2013) |
The Grantsville Lions Club announces that The Fabulous Hubcaps will be performing for the third year in a row at the 36th annual Grantsville Days from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
What began 36 years ago as "Harvey Hubcap and the Do Ron Ron" has evolved into The Fabulous Hubcaps, one of the nation's most sought after oldies show bands. Their career has been as diverse and colorful as the bowling shirts they wear. On any given month, their schedule may take them from Miami to Pittsburgh, Atlanta to Detroit, or Albany to Washington, D.C., and now again to Grantsville, Md.
Whether a black-tie-formal affair for the Northern Virginia Hospital, a 50's Soc Hop for the ASPCA or the Annual Blow-Out at the Nantucket Yacht Club, the Fabulous Hubcaps have been the choice of entertainment for decades.
The band has performed on the South Lawn of The White House for the 1995 Press Corps Picnic, and sang The National Anthem in Orioles Park at Camden Yards. The Hubcaps performed at the Inaugural Ball for Gov. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Hubcaps fans include Maryland Senate President Mike Miller, Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski, the late Louis S. Goldstein, former comptroller of Maryland, and Coach Joe Gibbs of The Washington Redskins.
The Hubcaps were inducted into The Southern Legends Entertainment and Performing Arts Hall of Fame July 17, 2005. This honor was presented by Sun Record Recording Artist, Vernon Taylor.
Since their first 45 record in 1982, The Hubcaps have released 17 recordings, from cassette tapes to their most recent compact disc, "Showtime is Next." Performing together since 1974, the seven-piece band shows no signs of slowing down. The Hubcaps continue to captivate audiences with their high energy tributes to original artists like Little Richard, Sonny & Cher, James Brown, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, The Shirelles, The Beach Boys and Rod Stewart, just to name a few.
With an extensive repertoire to do-wop group harmony, classic rock and roll, Rock-A-Billy, Motown, and R & B music, The Fabulous Hubcaps are heralded as one of the best oldies show bands in the country.
Last year at Grantsville Days there was a record attendance with everyone enjoying the Hubcap concert on their own lawn chairs or blankets, and the pavilions were full to capacity. Many people were also enjoying a Lions chicken dinner or Lions kettle corn along with the many other foods available. Last year a new stage was built where the performances from Friday night through Sunday will be held. It is located close to the playground where kids can have fun while the adults are listening to the variety of performances.
Also performing this year after the parade at 8:30 p.m. Friday will be DJ Jimmy B until the fireworks display at 10:30 p.m. sponsored entirely by First Peoples Credit Union.
Another local group, the Mountain Anthems will be performing on the stage at 11 a.m. Saturday. They are well known throughout the area and sing all their songs without accompaniment. The group Eastbound with Mike Bittinger will perform at 1:30 p.m. followed by Pat Cantrell & the Virginia Dreams at 4 p.m. The feature performance will be at 7:30 p.m. featuring the Girlz in Black Hats who have performed at Grantsville Days and other local venues in the past.

Hot Girls Cover Hit Songs: Kid Cudi 'Pursuit of Happiness' Edition
There isn't much that is more attractive than a gorgeous girl playing and singing a song like an angel. That is a scientific fact. However, like the sirens in Greek mythology, a girl like this can also be very dangerous, luring men in with her enchanting music and voice, and making us do dumb things. But that's a risk we're willing to take with our weekly feature of hot girls playing and singing hit songs for your enjoyment. This week's cover of "Pursuit of Happiness" by Kid Cudi comes from Jackie Lopez. Try not to fall in love.

I presume it was updated when the new NIC card was installed by the factory service center a few weeks ago. Initially, I had multiple issues with the new card which I posted here. Then, overnight, the thing worked perfectly and has ever since. Very fast response. Just wondering what the 'new' update does. After all the BDP updates that usually screw something else up, I have become a bit gunshy about updating equipment that works perfectly for the way I use it.

Although I appreciate the challenges the author, Carolyn Carlson, faces with her son's addiction problems, I stand by the opinion of the many people who attended the three sessions hosted by UNM Hospital when considering the site for the clinic.
Carlson didn't note that we also have Endorphin Power Company in the SE heights. Despite its original intent, it's become a halfway house, something no one in the neighborhood ever agreed to. Also, there are services available for vets at the VA Hospital. Many of those people wander our neighborhoods, as well as those who go to the facilities Carlson names.
Carlson misrepresented my stance about a clinic in the NE heights. As a long time journalist, I am sure she has seen the articles in the ABQ Journal about the rise of opiate use among teens, especially those from more affluent areas of the city. I think it would be a good idea to create a clinic specifically for teens and young adults. As a parent, Ms. Carlson, wouldn't you rather have a clinic that caters to the specific issues of younger addicts? I also think that parents and others in the NE heights might become more aware of the problems that exist in their area of the city and not think the problems with drug and alcohol use are exclusively taking place in the SE heights and the South Valley.
As a separate issue, I stand by my statement that the particular piece of real estate that was under consideration, on Central near San Mateo, is prime real estate on historic Route 66. It should be put to use to benefit all residents while acknowledging the significance of Rt. 66.

As a Reel repairman since 1982, I have seen many reels that "expolded" or actually they lost parts.
Man people think reels only need lubing and line. = NOT True. I have seen or replaced many front and back covers improperly put on that feel off.Reel handles that fell off because the nuts came loose. Bait clickers/alerts that fell out. Even reels dropped and then broke at the reel foot. And other missing parts too.One off the saddest things I ever seen was a guy who put sun screen on his daughter and forgot to wipe his hands, then picked up his rod and reel. Cast it & it slipped completely out of his hands, and flew about 40 ft from his boat, and sank in approx. 60 ft of water.Remember to wipe those hands after applying Sunscreen.
That's great Harry,This is the second one of this same rod for me. After I broke the tip and handle ( because it is always in the back of the car) I had to buy another one. It's not high end and it's not a cheaper one, but the only end that matters is the end with the fish on it !

My wedding dress hunt isn't going brilliantly. So I'm seeking inspiration from the recent Grazia brides as to how they decided which was "The One" - and whether they still think they made the right decision today...
15 March 2013 by Hattie Brett
Grazia Brides Spill On Their Dresses
Sophie Ferguson-Jones, Fashion Editor
With 6 months to plan a wedding (1 month of that spent at the collections) time was against us. But it was only when I found out wedding dresses took 3 months to make I started to panic! I knew I wanted something classic, simple that wouldn't date. As I was getting married at my childhood home in Spain I wanted lace and had always fantasied about having a traditional Spanish veil worn over the head and down the side, not behind. What I thought I wanted shape wise was most certainly not what I ended up with, it's only when you start trying on do you realise what actually suits you - I mean whenever else do you try on a big white dress. That was the other thing, I am a traditionalist so as much as I wanted the 'fashion' dress, I wanted it to feel like a wedding dress rather than a gown. So I went for Spanish designer Rosa Clara. Looking back no regrets but it has only been six months now, perhaps ask me in another year…'
Lauren Murdoch-Smith, Grazia Beauty Editor
My dress was from Monique L'Huillier. I just loved wearing lace on my wedding day, it felt very classic and appropriate for the church service. It had three parts to it so that it adapted for each part of the day. The two comments on my dress from friends and family that have stuck in my head are that I looked 'Edwardian' and 'regal'. Perhaps that was the Kate Middleton effect coming in to play yet again! Looking back I think I made the right choice but I am an indecisive girl when it comes to fashion so ask me on our 10 year anniversary....
Katherine Ormerod, Grazia Senior Fashion News and Features Editor
My dress was from Jenny Packham and is so completely feminine it was a surprise even to me. I had always imagined wearing something seriously fashion forward but in the end this dress was the perfect for my Tuscan olive farm venue. Would I make any changes? I definitely wouldn't have my hair as poufy and would doubtless upgrade my hairstylist (aka my maid of honour). But I still love that I wore red lipstick!
