Stephen Peace was born on March 30, 1953 in San Diego, California. Before entering politics, he co-produced the cult horror film Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Elected to the California State Assembly at age 29, Peace earned a reputation as a maverick. In 1995, he chaired the Senate Committee on Energy, pushing deregulation, and was subsequently blamed for the state's energy crisis in 2001. In 2010, he successfully spearheaded a campaign for an open primary in California.
"Every dollar you save this year saves you two next year."
Film Career
James Stephen Peace was born to two educators in San Diego, California on March 30, 1953. A standout athlete at Bonita Vista High School, Stephen Peace began his political career as student body president. After high school, he enrolled at the University of California, San Diego, and majored in political science. After graduating, Peace joined some college friends and launched Four Square Productions.
Inspired by the B-movies they'd seen as teenagers, the group produced the now-infamous cult horror film Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! in 1978. The plot involves killer tomatoes revolting against humanity, attacking people and wreaking general havoc. Scientists discover the tomatoes are vulnerable to bad pop songs and save the day.
The producers' eccentricities more than the film's success prompted three sequels, Return of the Killer Tomatoes! in 1988 (which starred then-unknown actor George Clooney), Killer Tomatoes Strike Back! (1990) and Killer Tomatoes Eat France! (1991). In addition to screenwriting and production, Peace had parts in all but the final film of the Tomatoes series.
Political Career
During this time, Peace was on another "crusade," working as a state legislator in the California Assembly between 1982 and 1992. As a moderate Democrat, Peace wanted to make government work better. Together, with four other like-minded colleagues, Peace formed the "Gang of Five," occasionally voting with Republicans for a good law instead of an ideological one. However, he was punished for his "treason" by party leaders, who stripped him of committee posts and banished him to a smaller office. They even took away his parking space.
Smart and well-connected, in 1992, Peace rebounded by being elected to the California State Senate. Renowned as a policy wonk, he tackled mind-numbing issues with a laser focus and was notorious for his outbursts at colleagues who "just didn't get it." He authored a series of criminal justice reform measures with a "one-strike-and-you're-out" provision that significantly increased penalties for violent criminals.
From 1995 to 1997, Peace chaired the Senate Committee on Energy and oversaw the debate on deregulation, a process that became known as the "Steve Peace Death March." The bill finally passed and was signed by Republican Governor Pete Wilson.
In 2000 and 2001, California was hit with an energy crisis and Stephen Peace was blamed for it, even though he didn't write the bill. He countered the energy crisis was due to lax oversight by state and federal regulators and unscrupulous power companies.

65,000 seats, expandable to 73,000 Clear ETFE roof (largest in the world and first on a stadium in the US) 125 suites and 7,500 club seats Largest glass pivoting doors in the world Connected to the skywalk system
I find it interesting it is a 'dome' without a retractable roof. That to me would be the only drawback to an otherwise spectacular looking venue. Edit: Whole bunch of pics from vikings.com... http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/p...d-16d0e381d0d0

Star Wars 9: Showdown on a Wasteland World! is the ninth issue in the Marvel Star Wars series of comics.
Plot summaryEdit
Han Solo, Chewbacca and the Star-Hoppers arrive at Ramiz' village Onacra, only to find it under attack by flying High-hounds. They repel the beasts, saving the life of a young girl named Merri to the great relief of her father Oncho, the village spokesman. But their relief is short-lived as Serji-X Arrogantus and his gang attack; the Star-Hoppers valiantly defend the village from the attack, but not without cost as FE-9Q is destroyed in the fray. However, Merri's grandfather the Old One, a shaman, dismisses the hired spacers' help and summons a large, mythical reptilian monster called the Behemoth from the World Below to handle the invading Cloud-Riders. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker informs Leia Organa that he has found a new location for the Rebel Alliance base in the Drexel system, but the transmission suddenly ends, and a worried Leia sets out to find Luke.

Here's the test site for a new website I am developing:
Ignore the lack of content for the moment or the 7 minor W3 validation errors. It looks ok in both Chrome and IE on my wide monitor...how's it look on anyone else's system?
I second John Waller on that. The images are better off as JPGs than PNGs for web - you, however do not have a transparent image for the rib fest pig logo.
Also, irrespective of what format you choose, you should probably use Photoshop's built-in feature 'Save for Web & Devices' instead of doing a 'Save As'. Photoshop will optimize the image for the web. No need of any 3rd party tools.
See the various images below that i got using 'Save for Web & Devices' in Photoshop.
JPG Medium - 36KB
You can notice there is no 'considerable' loss in quality in all 3 variants.
Changing all the PNG to JPG plus some initial tweaking knocked an 8 second first time load time to under 2 seconds:
Good enough for now! LOL!
Just a side note to the image discussion. This is an area where Fireworks is better than Photoshop because Fireworks can save a PNG8 with transparency whereas PS cannot. And FW has the PNG24 and 32 options as well. But on a white background I would always save as JPG over any other format. Typically the best formats to keep logos are EPS for an original, TIFF with transparency for hi-res and JPG or PNG for low-res depending on whether transparency is needed.
With regards to the rest of the design, I don't like the 3 rows of dots for the slider on the homepage. Your design is wide enough to lay those out in a single row and push the content up a little more.
On the Food page the content is a bit too long. Could use some anchor links to jump down and a "Back to Top" anchor as you scroll down to jump back to the top. Pictures are a bit large too. Could be scaled down a little with the same efffect.
Music page - label band images.
Contact - The problem with Google maps at times is that things get cut off. I don't see any address in the window. So I'd recommend making sure the address is in text below the map.
Footer - Only the music page has social icons. I would think you would want to put that on all pages along with some footer links to the other pages as you have laid out on that page.
You could also bring in a little more of the reddish orange color from the logo into the pages. Otherwise all I see is blue and the occassional red italic text. The homepage seems to have the best colors for branding the rest of the pages feel pretty bland in comparison.
In Chrome, I have 2 rows of 4 dots. In IE, it appears as 3 rows. The original template only had 3 images and as I added more slider content, it pushed down into 2 rows. I have absolutely NO idea how to re-size it.
I'm working from the front page first to the contact page last, which is why the front page is more finished. I just added the band pictures tonight and will label them tomorrow.
The rest of the pages are pretty much untouched at the moment. I don't have a lot of 'content' or information to add to the pages yet, so they'll look pretty bare until there's information worth passing along. It's just a shell at the moment and I started it on Saturday afternoon. LOL! Just keep plugging along.

Born on December 14, 1970 in East Dereham, England, Beth Orton went on to collaborate with electronic music producer William Orbit before releasing her debut LP, Trailer Park, in 1996. Hailed for her "folktronic" sounds, Orton won a Brit Award and released several albums over the next decade, including Daybreaker. She started a family before releasing her fifth studio album,
"It takes a lot of sap to make a little bit of syrup. But what makes the flow are these long, cold nights alternating with those ever so slightly warmer days—beauty and melancholy mixed together—and after that, that's when the sweetness comes."
"It always amazes me how people can make these extraordinary connections with one another one minute and then be just complete strangers the next. Or be complete strangers and make extraordinary connections that last forever."
"I had a singing teacher in her late 70s, and she told me: 'Only work with what you have.' Even if you sing flat, or are the kid in the school choir who everyone wants to shut up, you have a voice. Make strong what you have."
Sugaring Season.
A Life That Led to Music
Elizabeth Caroline Orton was born on December 14, 1970 in East Dereham, part of Norfolk County, England. Orton developed a love of nature and enjoyed the rural beauty of her upbringing, though she moved to London at the age of 14, after her parents had split. Orton was also an avid book lover who enjoyed writing and for a time pursued theatrical work as an actress, not really thinking that she would be a good match for a music career.
Both of Orton's parents had died by the time she'd reached 19. She went off to Thailand to live in a Buddhist community for a time. There she explored concepts of solitude and self-reliance that would inform her later work.
Back in Europe, Orton met ambient music producer William Orbit at a London bar. The two dated and Orbit took note of Orton's distinctive voice. The two collaborated as the duo The Spill and on Orbit's Strange Cargo III album, with Orton co-writing and providing vocals for "Water From a Vine Leaf." (Orbit would later become well known for his work with Madonna on her Ray of Light release in 1998.) Orton also worked with the acid jazz group Red Snapper and electronic-dance icons The Chemical Brothers.
Orton's first full-length album, Trailer Park, was released in 1996, featuring her vocals and self-taught guitar work; it immediately grabbed the attention of the British music community, earning Brit Award and Mercury Prize nominations. Orton's second album, 1999's Central Reservation, featured production from Ben Watt of the duo Everything But the Girl. Orton won a Brit Award in 2000 for the release while also receiving another Mercury Prize nomination.
'Folktronic' Trailblazer
Audiences and critics alike took notice of the singer/songwriter. Some coined the phrase "folktronica" when describing Orton's sound, as it moodily combined traditional acoustic music with more contemporary synthesized styles. Her third album, the richly layered, sometimes romantic Daybreaker (2002), started off with the scenic "Paris Train," another song that exemplified Orton's style of the time, mixing electronic flourishes with lush classical orchestration. She also continued to present deeply felt lyrics on relationships and self-awareness. Orton then released The Other Side of Daybreak in 2003, which contained remixes, remakes and previously unreleased tracks.
Orton's next album, 2006's Comfort of Strangers, took two weeks to record and alternated between up-tempo tunes and slower, tender moments. The album was also more traditional in its sound, not relying on synth embellishments that some saw as Orton's trademark.

Mario Haggan doesn't care how many wins and losses litter San Francisco's schedule. The 49ers are 1-6 coming into the game this weekend, but five of those games were decided by seven points or less.
"The record doesn't say what this team is," Haggan said. "They have a great defense. Some things have been a little inconsistent, but they have a lot of explosive players."
From the linebacker's point of view, he'll be matching up with a player in the backfield as talented as anyone in the NFL.
"(They have) probably the best running back in football in Frank Gore," Haggan said. "He is a great running back and we have our hands full once again, as it is each and every week in the NFL."
So far this season, Denver's defense already tackled three of the top 10 rushers from 2009 in Chris Johnson, Ray Rice and Maurice Jones-Drew and game planned against the active leader in career rushing yards in LaDainian Tomlinson.
Gore finished just below Rice as the ninth most productive runner last year, and Champ Bailey regards him as highly as any of the backs he's faced.
"Every week, it seems like we have a big test with running backs and it seems like that's the way our schedule is," Bailey said. "Gore doesn't get all the (same) accolades as these other guys, but he's one of my top-five backs in this league."
Head Coach Josh McDaniels echoed Bailey and Haggan's respect for the back in red-and-gold. He's not sleeping on a roster that sent five players to the Pro Bowl in February.
"We think it's a very, very talented roster with quite possibly the best (running back) we'll play all year," McDaniels said. "Frank Gore has great vision and great patience. He's a very explosive guy — he touches the ball a bunch, I think it's 40 percent of their offensive plays so far this year that he's been a part of. He's gained more yards from scrimmage than any other player since 2006."
When Gore isn't touching the ball, it's a good bet it's headed in the vicinity of Vernon Davis, the former first-round pick that scored more touchdowns than any other tight end last year.
Haggan said Davis is a "threat on every down," and McDaniels said Davis has more speed at his position than anyone the Broncos will face this season.
"We know who their most explosive player is, and that's No. 85," Bailey said. "(He) is one of the best. He's shown it every week and he's already scored four times. The guy is explosive and we need to be ready for it."
Similar to last week, the Broncos are preparing for skill players they respect without knowing who will be delivering the opposing playmakers the ball.
Alex Smith left last week's loss to Carolina with a shoulder injury, but the team hasn't ruled him out for Sunday. So Haggan, Bailey and the rest of the defense could see second-stringer David Carr or Troy Smith taking snaps.
With Gore and Davis leading the offense, Bailey said the team has plenty to focus on before it knows who will line up under center for San Francisco.
"We just have to go out there and prepare to play San Francisco's offense," Bailey said. "We'll worry about who's the quarterback later."

Investing in Wild Cards: Ramblings on KI, The Wii-U's and PS Vita Hype
on 09.22.2013
November is shaping up to be yet another huge month for gamers this year. More so than the previous ones. Yes, another entry in the Call of Duty franchise will surface, and another Assassin's Creed game that will be entirely underwhelming to play and question why the hell is that franchise is still going (with all due respect to Assassin's Creed fans, of course.) But this year is a bit different: It's because the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 are releasing! Hooray, the next generation of console games is arriving! With very interesting titles to come out for both consoles such as... uh... Actually, when I look at the short and long term of the releases for those consoles, there literally is nothing that is reaching out to me. Killzone for PS4 is nice, sure. The dedicated server support is decent as well for the Xbox One. But there isn't anything that's keeping me tethered to be interested in the next-generation of consoles. I mean, I have both a 360 and a PS3, as well as a mid-tier PC to run quite a few titles. Is there really anything at all that's tailored for my interest?
If anything, I can give a point to the Nostalgia factor.
Here's a fun story: Right around the time Microsoft had it's first E3 conference for the Xbox One, I was glued to my seat with absolutely no expectations set. After the "TV TV, TV TV" snorefest of the consoles' reveal, It'd make sense to just not care and enjoy the hysteria that came with live conference--HOLY SHIT THEY JUST SHOWED KILLER INSTINCT.
[Deep inhaling.]
I screamed, I whistled, I cheered with a lot of my friends in Skype Calls. then I remembered that, "This is Microsoft, what's the fucking catch." As time passed on, I leared who was working on the title, the roster, the free to play setup, etc. But honestly I didn't care. I was essentially succumbed by blind nostalgia. Hype to see the dream sequel of a game I waited YEARS to play again with a lot of my friends. (For the record, I've been following the development of this game like a Hawk.) But let's disregard KI and focus on the bigger picture: Nostalgia. Normally I don't place Nostalgia as the first of my vision for interest in a game because it generally works out for the game to not live up to my expectations, or be forever saddened at what could've been (See: Konami in general.) For these next-generation consoles, I've been following a basic principle with the games being featured. "Is there something like this already? Does it remind me of something fond?" So far other than a few future titles ("Rhine(?), Sunset Overdrive.") the lineup has been generally weak for me in the next two year. So what is there for me? I want something new! Unique! Classic! ...Well, there's always the Wii-U and the Playstation Vita.
Child of Light is another game I'm really looking forward to, and is really unpredictable, knowing Ubisoft's record with RPGs (there is no record.)
Let's not beat around the bush here: The Nintendo Wii-U has very little games to let it stay it's once warm, now sterile welcome. Yes, there's the marios, the Zeldas, the Ubisofts, but is there really anything worth investing for in the future for a Wii-U? No. Basically, the Wii-U is the only console whose lineup is completely up in the air. No one really knows what's going to happen for the console other than Smash Bros and Bayonetta, and I think that's what's really fun about following it's release. The fact that Nintendo is so seclusive about what it has in store for the console from both itself and future partners is...fun. there's a legitimate sense of hype building up that Nintendo products can bring to the table, and personally that feel of "what the fuck is going on?" is the fun with having something like The Wii, The Wii-U, and even back then the Gamecube on the side.
The Playstation Vita has this "probably?" factor to it as well. Sony's been having a really big indie push, which is downright perfect for someone like me whose been spending more and more on indie darlings. What does this have to do with the Vita? Well, the Vita is great for indies like Hotline Miami and (my personal favorite) Spelunky. I think the probability factor lies in "will "X" have cross-buy/cross-play? Will "X" support the Vita? Why won't "X" come on the Vita?" I'm very excited to see stuff like FEZ and Borderlands make it to the little console. I'm ESTATIC about the price drops (less so about the memory card drops. 25%? Nah, man. Cut that to 40%. No one buys Arbitrary memory cards anymore.). I'm really interested in the Monster Hunter-clones and the like coming from Japan, and--basically, I'm all over the place in what I want with these things, and I really think that's something the PS4 and the Xbox One should provide with it's launch.
November's gonna be pretty damn fun to spectate, though.

Oops. He missed it again —- the date for the rapture, that is. But that's OK, miscalculating the date for the end times is nothing new for Harold Camping.
In 1992, he published his book, "1994?" in which he predicted Sept. 6, 1994 as the beginning of the end. Undeterred by that non-happening, Camping did some re-calculating and published another book in 2008, "We Are Almost There!" He conveniently forgot to mention his 1994 prediction's failure to launch.

The National Association of Free Will Baptists Inc., based in Antioch, Tenn., wrapped up its annual convention last summer in Cincinnati with a total registration of 5,834. That was just slightly lower than projected, and considering the effects of the ongoing economic downturn, not a bad showing for a meeting drawing a large family attendance. Even so, NAFWB ended up paying $12,000 in attrition penalties at one of its downtown hotels.
That hurt, says Ryan Lewis, NAFWB's executive administrator. "In 75 years, that was the first time we've had to pay attrition fees," he says. But not the last.
The annual meeting in Oklahoma City this summer drew 6,550 registrants, making it one of the top three best-attended meetings in NAFWB's history. Attrition penalties this year: $24,500. Too many attendees stayed in hotels outside the negotiated room block (in downtown Oklahoma City), finding cheaper rates at outlying, limited-service hotels, Lewis says.
He stresses that downtown hotels involved in both cities worked with NAFWB to mitigate the impact of the group not filling its room block. "Fees would have been much worse if they had not," he says. "They were sympathetic to us, but they had rooms sitting empty and we had made a commitment to fill them."
Attendees' booking outside the room block is a perennial problem in the convention industry, surfacing especially when the economy puts a crimp on discretionary dollars. The question is, what to do? Here's how NAFWB is tackling the issue of its "blockbuster" meetings:
Shorten the booking window
It made sense to book NAFWB's annual convention as much as 10 years out because "cities were making all sorts of concessions to get the business on the books," Lewis points out, but that's not the case anymore, when there's so much economic uncertainty. "We're looking to shorten our booking cycle to six or seven years out," he says. Currently, the group's annual meeting has been booked through 2018.
Renegotiate pickup terms
NAFWB no longer signs hotel contracts with 90 percent pickup requirements, aiming instead for 80 percent or lower. The group is currently re-evaluating existing contracts and their pickup requirements and hoping to renegotiate some of the terms.
Shrink room block. NAFWB is looking to book 900 to 1,000 rooms peak night downtown versus 1,200 as was more typical in the past. "We'd rather deal with the angry people [who can't find a downtown room in the block] than deal with budget issues from penalty fees," Lewis notes.
Let attendees know the economic effects of booking outside the block
Keith Burden, NAFWB's executive secretary, stood up at the 2009 annual convention and spelled out for attendees "how it's not helping our convention at all to book around the block," Lewis recalls. "We need to build awareness." Like many religious organizations, NAFWB does not charge a registration fee to attend the annual convention. Convention expenses are funded by a church fee paid by individual churches.
Try Different Solutions
NAFWB had worked with a housing bureau but found that attendees overwhelmingly liked the ability to book their own rooms at their preferred properties. The group also tried nonrefundable deposits on hotel rooms, but that simply resulted in many people canceling their reservations just prior to the cutoff date for a refund. Clearly, some strategies work better for some groups than others.
Don't make it easy to book around the block
This was a lesson learned the hard way last year for NAFWB. Because the group could secure only 900 rooms downtown, it ran free shuttles to outlying hotels/motels. That ended up backfiring somewhat, as more attendees stayed in the cheaper properties and left the group with fewer pickups in its downtown block.
Get credit for rooms booked outside the block when possible
NAFWB does ask hotels in its room block for an audit of guest registrations to check against the meeting registration list. However, the group sees no way of doing that for attendees booking outside the block, especially in outlying hotels.
Not being able to document actual pickup of hotel rooms is not a great thing, Lewis admits. "We know, for instance, more than 6,000 people attended our meeting in Oklahoma City. And even accounting for the large number of drive-in attendees, we know that our group used a lot more hotel rooms than those accounted for in our negotiated block."
Be proactive
If you see a problem coming, get out in front of it, Lewis says. "If you have 50 or 200 rooms it looks like you're not going to fill, meet with the properties as soon as possible and try to work out solutions. Find out what you can do. We were told [by hotels and CVBs] that being proactive was the best thing we could have done to head off the problem."
To deal with rising convention costs, the group voted at this year's convention to raise church fees, which fund the convention budget, from $100 to $150. NAFWB has also taken measures to trim expenses. These include resorting to a "bare bones" AV budget and cutting some meal functions.
Sidebar #1: 3 Conventions in One
"We're trying to leave no stone unturned. We're going to reconsider our entire housing process and find a way to satisfy room pickup requirements while still keeping rates attendee-friendly," Lewis says. "We recognize we're not the only ones running on a tight budget."
Part of what makes the annual convention of the National Association of Free Will Baptists such a durably well-attended event is that it is actually three conventions taking place at the same location: a youth conference, a women's conference, and the NAFWB business meeting. This kind of "hybrid" meeting may help mitigate the negative effects of the economy on any one segment of attendance.
Further, the meeting in Oklahoma City this year had a strong international component, as it was a celebration of the Free Will Baptist International Missions' 75th year. International attendees included more than 50 guests who were honored for their mission work. The 2,500-mile "Go10 Walk for the World," in which nearly 2,000 walkers retraced the steps of pioneer missionary Laura Belle Barnard across 14 states, culminated at the Tuesday evening National Youth Conference, with a throng of walkers joining the final leg of the journey through downtown Oklahoma City. The walk surpassed its $1 million fundraising goal for the group's international missions.
In keeping with an annual meeting tradition, volunteers from all three NAFWB "conventions" logged in nearly 3,000 hours of community service through 21 local organizations and ministries by the time the Oklahoma City meeting had ended.
"When we come to a city for our meeting, we're committed to leaving it a better place," says Ryan Lewis, NAFWB's executive administrator.

Staff Writer
Valentine's Day is Tuesday. Are you ready, guys? Every year I see men who haven't planned ahead and have to make last-minute purchases at the end of the business day on Feb. 14. I just know they're getting fleeced on prices!
If you are into romance and saving money, then you've got to plan ahead. You've still got several days left including the upcoming weekend, so there's no excuse to be unprepared.
My wife and I have a longstanding tradition where I give her roses about two weeks before Valentine's Day to avoid the markup at the last minute.
One thing I've never understood is why women want their roses delivered by a complete stranger from a floral company. Isn't it more fun to get the roses and hand-deliver them yourself to your wife or girlfriend at the office or at home, instead of having somebody else do it for you?
The personal element is just such a nice touch. Handwriting a declaration of love is likely to be appreciated by many women as well, even if you get the card at a dollar store.
If last-minute flowers are your thing, then I suggest going to a supermarket or a nursery for competitive prices.
The supermarkets that have floral departments will often have multiple staffers on hand to accommodate people dashing in for bouquets. Nurseries, meanwhile, see their business drop off in the middle of winter and tend to offer high-quality products at a low price to reintroduce themselves to customers this time year. Finally, some online sellers will undercut traditional florists on roses, even during this holiday.

SPIRANTHES MAGNICAMPORUM Sheviak
Great Plains Ladies'-tresses
FAMILY: Orchidaceae
HABIT: Herbaceous perennial to 6 dm.; flowering mid September-November.
SIMILAR SPECIES: All members of the genus Spiranthes in Ohio are similar and are distinguished by floral characters. S. magnicamporum is most similar to S. cernua and is best distinguished from it by the absence of leaves during anthesis, its thick, tuberous roots, and the shape of the lip. It blooms rather later than other Ohio Spiranthes.
TOTAL RANGE: S. Ont., OH, IN, IL, IA, MN, ND, SD, NE, MO, KS, OK, TX; and local in UT, CO, NM, LA, and AL.
STATE RANGE: There are post-1960 records from Adams, Erie, Ottawa, Seneca, Summit, and Wood counties; however, the population from Seneca County is no longer extant. There are pre-1960 records from Clark, Franklin, Lucas, and Ross counties.
STATE STATUS: 1980-1987: Threatened, 1988 to present: Potentially Threatened.
HABITAT: Primarily calcareous soils in grassy fields, dry prairies, and limestone quarry floors.
HAZARDS: Trampling and compaction of soil; overshading by woody species as a result of succession.
RECOVERY POTENTIAL: Unknown, but tolerant of moderate disturbance.
INVENTORY GUIDELINES: Collect complete flowering material with underground parts; avoid over-collecting.
COMMENTS: This taxon has been recently segregated from the Spiranthes cernua complex (Sheviak, 1973) and all old records should be checked for proper identification. This species is probably more frequent in western Ohio than the records indicate. It may have been overlooked due to its late blooming period.
