Tecmo Koei has revealed new details (thanks VG247) for their upcoming 2013 release of Dead or Alive 5 Plus, a PlayStation Vita exclusive title, with features such as optional touch based attacking and vertical first-person play making use of the Vita's unique design.
Touch Play Mode: Experience battles in DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS through two new styles of touch combat with the PS Vita held vertically in portrait mode to get a first-person, full-screen view of your opponent at maximum size. In Mode 1, tap the opponent to attack them in that spot. In Mode 2, touch, flick, and pinch the screen to attack your opponent with more finesse and options. Both methods offer players an instinctive way to fight while seeing their opponent in the highest graphic detail.The fast-paced fighter also boasts a new "Training Plus Mode" that will help build skills but also help those like myself who aren't quite as talented in the fighting scene. The new Plus title will also feature Cross Play between the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3.
Dead or Alive 5 Plus will be available on March 22nd 2013. You can check out the latest screenshots below that show off the vertical play and also the detailed frame data that apparently has three times the detail then console releases.

A few days ago, I asked about de slash character in the Nokia Mobile Browser and The June 2000.
I said: "I'm testing a Wap site, and I need to type my username and my password to enter. However, my username has an "/" (slash) just in the middle. There are no way to type it in the Nokia Simulator's virtual screen (Nokia Mobile Internet Toolkit 3.0)".
The Nokia Team answered me that I must "Check the format specifier for the input field", and I say in the comments that "We can't define the input field format, because its defined by the same browser. We are working in a secure network enviroment, so is the same browser who ask for username and password. All wap phones allows to type the slash, because is necesary for most wap URLs. Even, in the Nokia Mobile Internet Toolkit direccion bar, is possible to type this character. Why we can't do the same in the simulator?".
In others words, we can't test properly our develops, because with the Nokia Mobile Internet Toolkit 3.0 simulator We can't type some characters using the keyboard.

This week on the podcast we talked about one event that goes down before every show, even though most of us will never hear it: the sound check. And while the main reason for a sound check is technical necessity, the band has on many occasions used this time to do everything from joke around with each other to straight up melt faces. Of course, covering thirty years of sound checks is nearly impossible, even considering that many never reach the public's ears. But from what is available, Josh, Brian Feller, and I hit you with some of our favorites and discussed the state of sound checks past, present, and future. Did we miss one of your favorites? Let us know in the comments section below.
Thanks for listening. We will be back in two weeks with "March Madness."

AT&T Phone Outage?
Original post made by cvm on Dec 22, 2010
on Dec 22, 2010 at 11:46 am
Same here...off Montevino and still no phone or dsl.
on Dec 22, 2010 at 2:44 pm
This is a constant problem with our phones. Every time it rains our business and residential phones go out. The last time the AT&T representative came to our door they said it was because there are not enough phones here to make a difference. It's easier to fix them, even though they know it's going to happen each and every time there is a down pour. Now, this down pour was bigger than most, so it seems more people were effected. But, believe me, it is a constant problem.
when suitable options become available I'll be the first to take them.

AT&T cellular service in Pleasanton got marked WORSE around the beginning of November too.
I hate my iphone because of it. I got Vonage for home phone- which is ok, and I really like the transcribed voice mail messages I can retrieve on my cell, but the connection is not that hot, but I like the price.

An incredible survival story is coming out of Northern Iowa. That's where a dog was left locked in a pen for three weeks after its owner moved away. Goldie, a playful golden retriever, went without food or water and out of starvation, she ate half of her tail to survive.
She was one of several dogs that had been abandoned at the rental property in Forest City. The new tenant was able to find homes for the seven filthy, emaciated dogs, but Goldie was in such poor condition, the landlord called the Humane Society of North Iowa for help.
"Goldie showed up at 46 pounds, which is 20 pounds under the weight of a normal Golden Retriever. You could see her rib cage underneath her skin. Her coat condition was in very bad shape. She was suffering from severe dehydration and starvation," said Sybil Soukup, Executive Director.
Goldie had to have the rest of her tail amputated. In the past few weeks, she has gained six pounds and is playful as ever. She's still recovering, but the shelter hopes to eventually find her a new home.

A History of FAU in Northern Palm Beach County
Florida Atlantic University has been providing higher education opportunities to residents in the northern part of its service area for several decades. Prior to 1993-94 college credit classes were offered at off campus "centers" through FAU's Division of Continuing Education. In northern Palm Beach County, classes were offered at the West Palm Beach Center at 45th Street. When FAU began offering courses at Palm Beach Community College's Eissey Campus, the center became known as the North Palm Beach Center. Moving in 1991 to Dwyer High School, the Center offered a limited number of undergraduate programs in general management, elementary education and public administration, graduate programs in business administration, public administration, educational administration and supervision, and core courses in the graduate nursing program. Fewer than 800 students were enrolled in 55 evening classes. Having virtually no office space, there were only a handful of permanent faculty assigned to the center; instead, faculty traveled north from the Boca Raton Campus to teach these courses
In response, ground was broken to form a permanent northern Palm Beach County campus in Jupiter at Donald Ross Road, and in Fall 1999 the John D. MacArthur Campus opened on 135 acres of land donated by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. With three administrative buildings, one residence hall, a dining hall and a utility building, the campus welcomed seventy-four Honors College students, who joined 1700 commuter students. Recreational facilities were developed and included a swimming pool, soccer field, basketball court and handball courts.
The Jupiter campus continues to offer a wide variety of courses from seven of FAU's colleges.
In Jupiter, a second residence hall opened in Fall 2001, the dining hall was expanded and two new buildings, the Hibel Museum of Art and Edna Hibel Fine Arts building were completed in Summer 2002. In the summer of 2004, the Education Classroom building and the 20,000-square-foot Library opened. The previous library site was renovated and became The Burrow, the campus union. The Burrow houses Student Government offices and various student activity equipment, along with the Bookstore and University Police headquarters.
In 2005, FAU Jupiter welcomed Scripps Florida faculty and staff to the first of two state-of-the-art research buildings which served as temporary space while their permanent facility was constructed. In the same year, the three-building Elinor Bernon Rosenthal Lifelong Society Complex was completed, with major gifts from the Rosenthal, Milton Maltz and Pearl Perloff families. On its 10th anniversary in 2009, the Jupiter Campus occupied approximately 45 acres with eighteen buildings totaling more than 333,000 square feet: eight classroom/office buildings, a library, a 500-seat auditorium, two residence halls, a dining hall, a museum building and central utility plant. Recreational facilities include a soccer field, swimming pool, disc golf course, and tennis, volleyball and basketball courts.
In February 2009, leaders from The Scripps Research Institute were joined by Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Palm Beach County commissioners to cut the ribbon officially opening Scripps Florida, the institute's 350,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art biomedical research facility at FAU Jupiter.
Later that year, in October 2009, The Max Planck Florida Institute finalized an agreement with FAU for a six-acre parcel of vacant land adjacent to Scripps Florida to build a 100,000-square-foot biomedical facility and laboratories. MPFI faculty and staff utilized the science buildings originally constructed as temporary space for Scripps Florida before moving into their permanent facility in June 2012.
Students and faculty on the Jupiter campus will be moving into two highly sophisticated laboratory facilities that were originally built for Scripps Florida and the Max Planck Florida Institute. These buildings have been renovated and will host a major new FAU neuroscience institute beginning in January 2013. This continues the development of the Jupiter campus as a flourishing center of biomedical research and education.
The Northern Campuses of FAU continue to be an integral part of higher education in northern Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties.

Draw points the way for Gillingham's title
Gillingham clinched the npower League Two title today despite surrendering a two-goal lead to AFC Wimbledon.
The already-promoted Gills drew 2-2 to seal their first silverware since 1964 after they claimed the point they needed at home.
Deon Burton and Danny Kedwell gave the newly-crowned champions a 2-0 lead at home over struggling Wimbledon, who are now one point adrift of safety ahead of their final game of the season against Fleetwood.
Jack Midson and Jon Meades both scored after the break for the visitors but they were unable to find a much-needed third goal which would have lifted them out of the relegation zone.

Suspect in slaying of Colo. prisons chief released too early; court apologizes for clerical error
Posted Apr 1, 2013 5:53 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
The deceased suspect believed to have slain the Colorado prisons superintendent last month before being mortally wounded in a shootout with Texas authorities was supposed to have been serving time for an attack on a jail guard.
But because of a state district court clerical error, what should have been a four-year consecutive sentence was imposed concurrently as Colorado prison officials determined that Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, was eligible for release Jan. 28, the Denver Post reports.
In addition to being suspected of shooting Tom Clements to death March 19 as the prisons chief opened the door of his home, Ebel has also been tied to the slaying about two days earlier of Nathan Leon, a pizza delivery driver in the Denver area.
"Because the judge did not expressly state that the sentence was consecutive, the court judicial assistant did not include that term in the mittimus, the sentence order that went to the Department of Corrections," explained 11th Judicial District Administrator Walter Blair in a written statement. "The court regrets this oversight and extends condolences to the families of Mr. Nathan Leon and Mr. Tom Clements."

text: The Webster pipe organ History Organ after conservation treatment, in storage prior to display. The organ is the first pipe organ to be made in New Zealand. It was made by William Webster from the Hokianga in the 1850's. Constructed largely from native NZ woods and materials, the organ has a mechanical action and four stops. Previous restoration The organ has been restored at least twice since coming into the Museum in the early 1960s. The first restoration, in 1965, was not documented. The second restoration in 1984 was intended to return the organ to playing condition, which was a condition of its bequest. The mechanism was completely overhauled, and several original parts replaced. The decorative organ pipes on the case had been sanded down during the 1984 restoration, removing most of the traces of the original gilding. The surface was then spray painted with gold car paint. Restoration The organ was required for Encounter Gallery, which opened in November 2006. The decision was made to initially concentrate on the appearance of the organ, rather than on the state of the mechanism, which had deteriorated since the organ was put into storage. Treatment Conservator Kirsten Slatter applying new gold leaf to missing areas. It was decided to remove the paint from the pipes so that the condition of the original surface could be assessed. The original yellow bole (coloured undercoat) was present over a layer of gesso, together with some remains of a copper-based leaf and several layers of metallic paint. Re-gilding of the pipes was eventually chosen so that the organ would be presented as originally intended. Advice was taken from gilders, curators from other institutions and musical instrument makers. The original surface on the pipes was consolidated and then gilded with pure gold leaf. The pipes were size gilded to retain as much of the original surface as possible the alternative was oil gilding, which would have required that a new layer of gesso be painted onto the pipes. The final reflective finish was toned down with tinted shellac. The panels behind the pipes are wooden frames with fabric stretched over. The 1984 restoration included the re-covering the frames with a brown synthetic fabric. Investigation revealed traces of the original fabric which was a bright red cotton, and a similar fabric was selected to re-cover the panels. Other treatment on the organ involved surface cleaning and re-attachment of missing mouldings. Future treatments will involve returning the organ to playing condition and removing the electric bellows installed in the 1960s.

After what seems like an eternity, we are finally on the cusp of Spring Training. Each year around this time, fans get ideas in their heads as to who they want to catch fire in Tempe and earn a roster spot or some playing time. What a difference a year makes. Last year, Brandon Wood was the man with the most support from the Angels faithful. Jordan Walden and Hank Conger also received a lot of love. How about this year?
Heading into 2012, the Angels seem to have more players than spots. However, a few critical roster spots are up for grabs and who gets to play how much could have a major impact in an A.L. West race most expect to be close.
Here are mine and some names I think will get plenty of support:
- Kendrys Morales -- to me, he is the key to the season. If he can hit behind Albert Pujols at even close to 2009 production, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride. The Angels would have the best 1-2 punch in the league and an extremely deep offense.
- Mike Trout -- the last time we saw him, he was struggling in the Arizona Fall League. Considering he has no AAA experience and had fairly pedestrian results in his MLB callup, I would love to see him hold his own against this level of competition. He is going to play soon and I want his confidence to be sky high when he does.
- Vernon Wells -- thank God you guys can't throw tomatos at me, but hear me out. Wells is going to get every opportunity to be the Opening Day starter and will probably get at least a month or two at the beginning of the season. Why not let him get going in Tempe and carry some momentum into the season? He has been working all offseason and was spun tighter than a top last year. A productive Wells will really make the lineup deeper and give Trout some more experience in the minors.
- Jordan Walden -- please develop some more control and a secondary pitch.
- Hank Conger -- this is an annual thing for me. Maybe it's because he is a local kid. Maybe it's because he seems so genuinely nice and humble. I really want to see him catch fire and fulfill his potential.
- Bobby Cassevah -- he can justify not bringing in a high priced veteran by continuing the progress he made last year.
- Garrett Richards -- the kid has nasty stuff and will need to kick the door in to win the #5 spot. Even if he doesn't earn an Opening Day roster spot, he will push the other contestants and ease the anxiety over our pitching depth.
I realize there will be many people pulling for Mark Trumbo to transition to third effectively, Trevor Bell to win the 5th starters spot or Jerome Williams to continue his magical run. I was impressed with Jeremy Moore last year and am monitoring the development of Jean Segura. Don't sleep on Efren Navarro, either. He might turn into a decent trade chip.
So, who are you paying a little extra attention to this year?

Homeschool Mom from Austin, TX– Verified Buyer
We bought 4 of these for our homeschool space. We wanted ergonomic chairs and they are very comfortable for both the kids and the grownups. My kids are 5 and 7 and we got the 16" chairs which are a good compromise for them. Just right for the 7 year old and a little tall for the 5 year old, but he'll grow into it soon enough. In the meantime I gave him a small stool to rest his feet on. Good deal on the price!

Symbolism Entry: Ordered/Organization
Look at the setting and the character's state of mind, and then think about what you want the reader to see. Is there a descriptive symbol or two that works naturally within the scene to help foreshadow an event or theme, or create insight into the character's emotional plight?
In Nature:
Animals gathering in herds or packs
Seasonal cycles
North Star position
Phases of the moon
Planetary alignment
Bird migrations
Baby birds following their mother
The Food Chain
Ant hills
Bee hives
The tides
Animal migration
The Water Cycle
In Society:
Technology (computers, databases)
Bill payment
Crosswalks/crossing guards
Street Light changes
School Routine
Work Hours
Shopping hours
Banking Hours
Rows of lockers
Labels, folders, dividers
Mail boxes
Sorted mail
Grocery store shelves
Line graphs, flow charts, bar graphs
Filing cabinets
Phone Book
Email Lists
Ingredient lists
Name tags
Table of Contents
Committees, organizations
Help desk/tec support services
Government services (Police, Fire, Rescue)
Government Organizations (Welfare, Unemployment, Social Programs/services)
These are just a few examples of things one might associate with Order/Organization. Some are more powerful than others. A filing cabinet is a strong symbol of organization and likely will not require reinforcement. However, a single name tag may not foreshadow order/organization on its own. Let the story's tone decide if one strong symbol or several smaller ones work the best.

I really like this post. I, as a writer, have a weakness that I'm so concentrated on plot and character, that I often miss symbolism and setting... It is nice to have something like this to remind me about these assets.
I'll definitely be adding this to my blog roll.

This panorama shows the river Rhine after the snow melted in January, 2011. It was taken in Cologne, ...
Light rail station Bayenthalguertel between Rhine and Bismarck tower.
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder says respect goes both ways when it comes to the debate over the team's nickname.
The man who ultimately gets to decide whether the name stays or goes offered his thoughts on the matter Tuesday in a letter to season-ticket holders, the first time he has addressed at length the change-the-name campaign that has picked up momentum this year.
The tone of the letter suggests that no change is under consideration.
"I've listened carefully to the commentary and perspectives on all sides, and I respect the feelings of those who are offended by the team name," the letter states. "But I hope such individuals also try to respect what the name means, not only for all of us in the extended Washington Redskins family, but among Native Americans too."
Letter From Dan Snyder to fans regarding Redskins name by MyFoxDC
The letter recalls Snyder's experience when he attended his first Redskins game at age 6 and cites polls and anecdotal evidence that indicate support for the name from Native Americans. It also states that the original Boston Redskins had a Native American coach in the 1930s before the franchise relocated to Washington, even though research shows that it is unclear whether William "Lone Star" Dietz was an actual Indian or whether he stole the identity of a missing man from the Oglala Sioux tribe.
"The name was never a label," Snyder's letter states. "It was, and continues to be, a badge of honor."
While there have been groups calling for a name change for decades, a series of events this year has put the Redskins on the defensive like never before. Snyder has hired Lanny Davis, an adviser in the Clinton White House who specializes in managing political crises, as an adviser on the matter. The letter released Tuesday shows more sensitivity than the owner's last on-the-record comment on the topic, when he told USA Today in May: "We'll never change the name. It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps."
In recent months, local leaders in Washington and some members of Congress have called for a name change, and some media outlets have stopped using the name. It is also the subject of a long-running legal challenge from a group of American Indians seeking to void the team's federal trademark protection.
Indian activist Suzan Shown Harjo, a major figure in the trademark case before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, was unimpressed with Snyder's letter. She disputed several points, including the reference to Dietz, whom she said is part of the team's "time-dishonored history of putting up pseudo-Indians as part of their promotion."
Harjo also rebuffed an assertion by Snyder that the team has an obligation to its fans to preserve its heritage.
"Part of that heritage and tradition is name-calling, belittling and maligning Native Peoples," Harjo said in an email to The Associated Press. "The n-word was traditional and had quite a heritage, too. Happily, not all traditions are carried on forever."
Last week, President Barack Obama told The Associated Press that he would "think about changing" the name if he owned the team. This week, the NFL said it will meet with representatives from the Oneida Indian Nation, which has been airing radio commercials pushing for a change. Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday that the league needs to "carefully listen" to critics of the name and "make sure we're doing what's right."
Like Harjo, Oneida representative Ray Halbritter differed with the interpretation of the team's history in Snyder's letter. Oneida said the team's nickname "was deliberately designed to denigrate people of color."
"Unfortunately that ploy was successful," Halbritter said in a statement. "The marketing of this racial slur has had — and continues to have — very serious cultural, political, and public health consequences for my people and Native Americans everywhere. It is clear from Mr. Snyder's letter that he does not understand those consequences."
In the statement, Halbritter invited Snyder to take part in the tribe's upcoming meeting with the NFL.
Washington coach Mike Shanahan said he was glad that that Snyder "expressed exactly how he feels from an ownership standpoint."
Goodell has said that it is ultimately Snyder's call as to whether the name will be changed. For now, it appears the owner is not budging.
"I respect the opinions of those who disagree. I want them to know that I do hear them, and I will continue to listen and learn," the letter states. "But we cannot ignore our 81 year history, or the strong feelings of most of our fans as well as Native Americans throughout the country. After 81 years, the team name 'Redskins' continues to hold the memories and meaning of where we came from, who we are, and who we want to be in the years to come."Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP

Letter From Dan Snyder to fans regarding Redskins name
Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter Responds to Washington Team Owner Daniel Snyder
ONEIDA NATION HOMELANDS (NY) (October 9, 2013) Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter has issued the following statement in response to Washington NFL team owner Daniel Snyder's letter to fans of the team, in which Snyder discusses the negative reaction to the team's nickname and mascot.
"We are glad to see that Mr. Snyder is listening to the growing number of critics on this issue that include the President of the United States, senior members of the U.S. Congress, civil rights organizations, public health organizations, and Native American tribes. These leaders and groups, who collectively represent millions of people, understand why a professional football team should not be promoting a racial slur."
"In his letter, Mr. Snyder made mention of his team's history. He opted to omit from his letter, however, that the original owner who gave the team its current name was an avowed segregationist. That suggests the team's name was deliberately designed to denigrate people of color. Unfortunately that ploy was successful. The marketing of this racial slur has had - and continues to have - very serious cultural, political, and public health consequences for my people and Native Americans everywhere."
"It is clear from Mr. Snyder's letter that he does not understand those consequences. So in the spirit of the dialogue that Mr. Snyder says he is willing to engage in, we are inviting him to join the NFL delegation in its upcoming meeting at our Homelands. During his visit, we will organize a special meeting of Oneida Nation families where Mr. Snyder can personally explain to them why he believes they deserve to be called "redskins." He can then hear directly from them why that term is so painful."

Phoenix police said they have arrested a suspect in a 16-year-old, cold-case murder.
Randall Larson, 37, was arrested Thursday in connection with the death of Victor Moreno on the morning of April 25, 1997.
After the case went cold, the Phoenix Police Department's Homicide Cold Case Squad reviewed the case in 2012 and was able to forensically link Larson as a suspect in Moreno's murder, said Sgt. Steve Martos.
Moreno, who was 20 years old, left behind his pregnant girlfriend, who soon gave birth to Moreno's daughter, Martos said.
Moreno's girlfriend and teenage daughter were expected to join Phoenix police at a news conference Wednesday at police headquarters, 620 W. Washington St., to discuss the arrest and the case.

It's hard to put a finger on an exact date or time when it happened, but it sure felt like it sprung up overnight. We offloaded our cargo pants, basketball jerseys and Flex-Fit hats at Goodwill, replacing the whole lot with pre-worn cardigans and women's jeans from the nearest thrift store.
The "Indie" Movement, as it's come to be known, references surfing's cultural shift to the polar opposite of the days of wearing loud logos and representing the brand you like, strictly because the World Champ was on the team. So much more than just a sport, surfing represents a lifestyle envied by the world over. What we do, how we act and what we wear slowly oozes across the globe like a spilt can of PBR seeping through the carpet. I sit down one evening in my crow's nest of a studio with one of the finer analysts of our sport, surfer/blogger/internet personality Sterling Spencer. Our ice cold cans crack in unison, and we try to figure out how it all started. Who, what, when, where, how and why, and then the bigger question, will it end?
The "Indie" Movement, as it's come to be known, references surfing's cultural shift to the polar opposite of the days of wearing loud logos and representing the brand you like, strictly because the World Champ was on the team.
We're both well aware how guilty we are of watching every movement in the surfing world like a hawk on Adderall. We examine, we judge, we criticise and we blog about it. Pretty pathetic really, like watching reruns of Storage Wars, but there's still this level of entertainment value that tickles us in just the right way. Especially lately, everyone's trying so dang hard to figure out how to stand out in a sea of drones whose surfing ability, style, even food preference have become indistinguishable. It's only a compliment to the level that surfing has skyrocketed to over the past decade. Everyone can do every trick in the book, and your career is now reliant on who you are, rather than how you surf. As the mountains on our beers lose their icy blue tint, we start to make some headway.
"Dion." Sterling hits the nail on the head. Surfing's first official internet aficionado. Globe.tv/dion allowed the chic Aussie to show surf fans his talents in and out of the water. Abstract photos, lo-fi shredding and v-neck shirts that dared to go deeper than any surfer had gone before. What many people don't know is six months prior to the newfound stardom, Dion was still sporting puffy skate shoes, track pants and gold chains. Surfer/friend Paul Fisher reflects on Dion's overnight transformation, "It was like he was wearing Hang Ten and Fubu, and then he did this flip in Bali, and he came out of it in a leather jacket, beanie, 10 chicks and contracts coming out his ass." However he wanted to do it, Dion deserves the credit for igniting this new phase of self-promotion and marketing with his relatable DIY approach. And we all watched, awe-struck by his indie ways. Danereynolds.com (later marinelayerproductions.com), pinchmysalt.tv and hundreds of others followed his example. This little dude was out there doing what he wanted and giving the finger to all the critics. It really was cool, and tangible, but most of us were still timid of the drastic transformation, because a giant still loomed out there.
Andy Irons didn't give a shit. He wore the logos. He did karate kicks at the photo shoots. "Just tell me what to do so I can get the fuck out of here." He'd say.
Andy Irons didn't give a shit. He wore the logos. He did karate kicks at the photo shoots. "Just tell me what to do so I can get the fuck out of here." He'd say. In fact, if your level of indie was based on how little you cared, he was the most indie of all of them. At this point in time, A.I. was still at the top of the world's list of favourite surfers. And whether it was a conscious decision or not, the masses bought it. The clothes with the giant logos, shoulder hits, and the loud trunks that hung down past the knees. Why? Because Andy did.

Cracking into the third round of coldies, We set an unofficial date of the indie takeover to be on November 2nd, 2010, the day that Andy died. While all that controversial hoopla surrounding his death was going on, Dane's pants slowly tightened, Craig's hair grew and the holes in Warren Smith's thin little t-shirts got a little bigger. While Andy was still with us, we were privy to fire, drive and passion. The competitive spirit was alive and well, uppercutting his way through life like Liu Kang in the final stage of Mortal Kombat. But bright fires burn fast. And now that Andy is gone, we do what Dane does.
He dangled his hologram pendant on the horizon, and we all sat mesmerised by his calculated quirk. So we followed like sheep to the shearer, chopping off the decade of 'Andy vs. Kelly,' and embracing a new breath of fresh air that soon came to be coined as "Indie." He was doing it all, independently. Art, photography, his own website, which housed his own movies. It even looked like Quiksilver gave up, and just let Dane market the entire company. We loved it. We bought it. Sterling and I reflect on a recent thrift store adventure where he'd pull shirts off the rack and ask "Is this indie?" I'd reply, "Nah, not indie enough." Not even jokingly, we were serious. I was within earshot of some teenage girls, and overheard, "Oh my God, he's soooo indie." That is what defined their attraction to the opposite sex, indie. The look, the mindset all came so easily. "Cuff the legs of those skinny jeans, walk out into that field with your feet close together and stand there like an ambiguous nothing." Became the call from the marketing directors everywhere. Who cares about our level of surfing… We don't have to care anymore, remember? And this is where one massive sector of surfing was heavily affected.
It's way too hot for stuffy button-ups and leather boots, but if you wear these types of clothes in Hawaii, you get the shit kicked out of you, daily.
First of all it's way too hot for stuffy button-ups and leather boots, but if you wear these types of clothes in Hawaii, you get the shit kicked out of you, daily. So all of a sudden the Torrey Meisters, the Granger Larsens and a mass of other incredible talents from the islands lost their sponsors because they just aren't marketable anymore. Amazing surfers lost their jobs while the fashion-forward flourished. If you don't embrace the identity of "today's professional freesurfer," you basically have to invent a new trick every month just to get brands like Oxbow and Ergo to bat their eyes at you. Tough times indeed.
So this state of affairs continues for a number of years, which carries us right up to the bottom of our twelve pack. Sterling and I have put together a massive puzzle on the floor, probably fudging a few pieces into place that weren't right, but they're close. One major concern still lingered – when huge culture shifts like this occur so rapidly, they're bound to snap back just as quickly as they started. So when is it going to happen? Who will be the tip of the sword? Just as on point as he was in the start of the discussion, Sterling calls it again, "John John."
It feels right Doesn't it? John John. Happily plastering Hurley logos wherever they ask him to. Not even remotely concerned about creating a persona for his on land performance. Anyone who's witnessed a post heat interview knows he only needs to let his surfing do the talking. But Sterling and I still can't deny Dane. He owns our hearts, and a little bit of our soul. And most of the surfing world is right there with us. We still check his blog three times a day, just in case that new edit goes up. We still wait at the edge of our seats for our Indie god to inspire us with his unpredictability. So as I say goodbye to Sterling for the evening, we part with that last question unanswered – the final piece of our puzzle that seemed to have fallen in the cracks of my couch. When will it end?
Then came the day that I consider to be one of the more significant moments in surfing history, on the level of Bob McTavish hacking off the top third of his longboard, or Simon Anderson glassing that third fin on. It was July 31st, 2013. The day that Dane Reynolds beat Cam Richards to win Semifinal #1 of an online video contest. Sounds ridiculous right? Well it's not the result I'm referring to, but the actions leading up to the win. Similar to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, eventually spawning World War I, it's the little things.

Dane rallied anyone and everyone to smash his teenage opponent. His friend Craig Anderson, the nicest guy I've ever met, never said a mean thing about anyone, ever, was recruited by Dane's campaign, and a very unexpected post came from @beniceandsmile. Six hours later it was deleted. Emotion, drama, frustration. Caring about shit. Our Indie God and his disciples were showing signs of mortality.
Walking away from the World Tour in 2011, Dane shocked us all. Some of us disappointed, some of us relieved. He didn't need that crap, didn't have to. But here he was two years later, entered in a video contest judged by the public to give the winner a wildcard into this year's Hurley Lowers Pro. Sure we'll watch Dane do another contest, make it to Round 3 and give up on himself with a few hail mary's. Nothing new. But 17-year-old Cam Richards had the entire East Coast on his back, and the voting numbers showed Dane far behind. I expected silence, the usual Reynolds. I didn't care that he was going to lose, because HE wouldn't care. Boy was I wrong. Dane rallied anyone and everyone to smash his teenage opponent. His friend Craig Anderson, the nicest guy I've ever met, never said a mean thing about anyone, ever, was recruited by Dane's campaign, and a very unexpected post came from @beniceandsmile. Six hours later it was deleted. Emotion, drama, frustration. Caring about shit. Our Indie God and his disciples were showing signs of mortality. His roller coaster of a campaign ended with Dane on top. Success. A win. Biting, scratching and kicking to do something he expressed was not important to him. Has the wool been pulled over our eyes this entire time? Did he always care? On one side I felt had and lied to for years. But on the other I was excited. It was a new chapter, an unexpected twist in our monotonous, drab and careless Indie novel. A sign of Andy's spark in the eye of the anti-competitor. The next day, I received a text from Sterling. "That's it. Indie's dead…"
Now that's a bold claim, but not untrue. Of course now that the precedent has been set by Dion, Dane and others – that forging your own path in this world is acceptable and achievable, everyone out there will forever feel free to surf how they want to surf, dress how they want to dress and eat whatever the hell they want to eat. But I have a feeling deep down inside me that the minute John John Florence hoists his first World Title trophy, our heads will turn towards a new path. I don't know what it'll be. Maybe we'll start sewing cargo pockets on these comfy little jeans. But for now, let's at least unbutton that tippy-top button of our dress shirts. We've got a little room to breathe.

2.33/5 rDev -37.7%
A: Lovely black colour, but under carbonated and pours with no head or lacing.
S: Smells of medicine, TCP and industrial alcohol, not my preference, but I guess better than nothing.
T: The smells follows threw in the taste. Harsh notes of alcohol that limit the other elements. Roast barley is present, not really in a good way. A touch a treacle, salt, bitterness, but no noticeable hop profiles, just a generic slight bitterness, as much from the roasted barley as the hops.
M: Not bad, pretty smooth, shame about the carbonation.
O: Not for me this one, but don't let that put you off, you may love it. Give it a try if you have the chance and formulate your own opinion.
N.B. The bottle I have in front of me is 9%, not 10%

4.68/5 rDev +25.1%
Had this on tap at Popeye's in Ryogoku, Tokyo. Poured into a wide-mouthed snifter. Pitch black in hue with no head present. A bit of spicy ethanol in the aftertaste, subdued bitter roasted coffee flavor in the beginning. Not much of a smell to it. Spice as it warms like tumeric or nutmeg. Great brew from a great company. Respect Japanese brewers, people! Let's get more people on this!

4.1/5 rDev +9.6%
A - Jet black pour into a La Guillotine snifter with a one-finger thick foamy tan head, medium retention (4)
S - Nose was dominated by grapefruits with a touch of roasted malts (4)
T - Strong citrus fruitiness, mainly grapefruits, upfront with mild sweetness and a roasted malt background. Pleasant flavors from the grapefruits but it seems a little too much for an Imperial Stout; a little weird for the style (4)
M - Medium to full bodied thickness with a creamy smooth texture; slightly high carbonation and a slight hop bite as well (4)
D - Lovely grapefruit flavors, nice smoothness and a well hidden 9% ABV lands this a very good rating for drinkability; however the pronounced grapefruit flavors versus the muted roasted malt and chocolate character, if any at all, was a little puzzling (4.5)
Good beer for drinking but a little off tangent for an Imperial Stout to be honest

3.63/5 rDev -2.9%
Thanks for sending this one Scott! A rare live review for me....
Nothing legible (to me, at least) on the bottle except the name "Takashi Imperial Stout" and the web address. Also notes that the abv is 9.0%.
Pours into my cantillon stemware taster glass, small medium-tan head leaving some dotted lace atop a black brew. Nice retention.
Aromas are comprised of smooth roast and well integrated chocolate, pairing nicely with this 85% cocoa Alter Eco. A twinge of ethanol coming through the back, backed by a touch of fruitiness. Subtle overall, but no real flaws.
The taste, subtle as well. Good balance between a delicately bitter roast and some residual malt sweetness. It's smooth, will negligible alcohol presence, but not as huge of a mouthfeel as one might expect or desire in a RIS. Though I suppose this is toward the lower end of ABV for the style, at least of recent trends for American brewers.
A nice beer and I look forward to trying more beers from Japanese Microbrewers.

Mondiale 2009, bottled version and not the tap available later at DDC. A coffee and chocolate story. Initially a bold taste then moving into a lighter mouthfeel that was very drinkable. Good tasting RIS. Black, a little roast, smooth and nicely malted, well integrated.

If your child has been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, it means he or she was born with a problem in the heart's structure. The news that your child has a congenital heart defect probably made you anxious and worried about your child's immediate and long-term health. But, knowing about your child's congenital heart defect can help you understand his or her condition and what you can expect in the coming months and years.
Some congenital heart defects are simple and don't need treatment, such as a small hole between heart chambers that closes on its own. Other congenital heart defects in children are more complex and may require several surgeries performed over a period of several years.
Serious congenital heart defects usually become evident during the first few hours, days, weeks and months of life. Signs and symptoms could include:
Less serious congenital heart defects are often not diagnosed until later in childhood. Your child may not have any noticeable signs or symptoms. If signs and symptoms are evident in older children, they may include:
When to see a doctor
Serious congenital heart defects are often diagnosed before or soon after your child is born. If you notice that your baby has any of the signs or symptoms above, call your child's doctor.
If your child has any of the signs or symptoms of less serious heart defects as he or she grows, call your child's doctor. Your child's doctor can let you know if your child's symptoms are due to a heart defect or another medical condition.
How the heart works
The heart is divided into four hollow chambers, two on the right and two on the left. In performing its basic job — pumping blood throughout the body — the heart uses its left and right sides for different tasks. The right side of the heart moves blood to the lungs through vessels called pulmonary arteries. In the lungs, blood picks up oxygen then returns to the heart's left side through the pulmonary veins. The left side of the heart then pumps the blood through the aorta and out to the rest of the body.
How heart defects develop
A baby's heart starts beating just 22 days after conception. At that point, the heart has a simple tube shape. Between days 22 and 24, the heart begins to bend to the right and fold in on itself to form a loop. By 28 days after conception, the tube has a vaguely heart-like shape with structures corresponding to the heart's two sides and the large blood vessels that carry blood in and out of them.
It's usually at this point in your baby's development that heart defects may begin to develop. Researchers aren't sure exactly what causes defects to begin, but they think some medical conditions, medications and genetics may play a role.
Types of heart defects
There are many different types of congenital heart defects, falling mainly into these categories:
Holes in the heart. Several heart defects can be thought of as holes in the walls between heart chambers or between major blood vessels leaving the heart. These holes allow oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix. If the holes are large and a lot of blood is mixed, the blood that ends up being circulated through your child's body is not carrying as much oxygen as normal. Not having enough oxygen in the blood can cause your child's skin or fingernails to appear blue in color. Your baby may also develop signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure, such as shortness of breath, irritability and leg swelling, because both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood are flooding (overcirculating) the lungs.
Examples of hole defects include ventricular septal defect, which is a hole in the wall between the right and left ventricles; atrial septal defect, a hole between the upper heart chambers; and patent ductus arteriosus (DUK-tus ahr-teer-e-OH-sus), an opening between the pulmonary artery and the aorta.
Most congenital heart defects result from problems early in your child's heart development, the cause of which is unknown. However, certain environmental and genetic risk factors may play a role. They include:
For serious congenital heart defects, it's necessary for your child to receive treatment soon after birth to avoid serious problems. Fortunately, most serious heart defects are found soon after birth, and sometimes are detected even before your baby is born.
Some of the potential complications that can occur with a congenital heart defect include:
If your child has a life-threatening heart defect, it will likely be detected soon after birth, or possibly before birth as a part of routine exams during pregnancy.
If you suspect your child has a heart defect later in infancy or childhood, talk to your child's doctor. Be prepared to describe your child's symptoms and provide a family medical history, since some heart defects tend to be hereditary. Your child's doctor may also want to know if the mother of the child had any medical conditions or used any medications or alcohol while pregnant that may have been a risk factor for developing a congenital heart defect.
What you can do
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions helps you make the most of your time together. You might want to ask the following questions:
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Your child's doctor may initially suspect a problem because he or she hears a heart murmur during a routine exam. A heart murmur is a sound that occurs when blood flows through your child's heart abnormally. Many heart murmurs are innocent, meaning the murmur isn't dangerous to your child's health. Some murmurs, however, may mean blood is flowing through your child's heart abnormally because he or she has a heart defect.
Tests to diagnose a congenital heart defect
If it's possible your child has a heart defect, your doctor or your child's doctor may order several tests to see if your child has a heart problem. In addition to a regular physical exam, these could include:
A congenital heart defect may have no long-term effect on your child's health — in some instances, such defects can safely go untreated. Sometimes they aren't even discovered until adulthood.
Some heart defects, however, are serious and require treatment soon after they're found. Depending on the type of heart defect your child has, doctors treat congenital heart defects with:
Long-term treatment
Some children with congenital heart defects require multiple procedures and surgeries throughout life. Although the outcomes for children with heart defects have improved dramatically, most people, except those with very simple defects, will require ongoing care, even after corrective surgery.
It's natural for many parents to feel worried about their child's health, even after treatment of a congenital heart defect. Although many children who have congenital heart defects can do the same things children without heart defects can, here are a few things to keep in mind if your child has had a congenital heart defect:
Because the exact cause of most congenital heart defects is unknown, it may not be possible to prevent these conditions. However, there are some things you can do that might reduce your child's overall risk of birth defects and possibly heart defects too, such as:

Clark County Historical Newspapers Archive
The Clark County Historical Newspapers Archive is part of an ongoing digitization project that aims to make the Clark County Historical Museum's collection of local newspapers available online in the form of a keyword-searchable database. Currently about 80 issues or two years' worth of the Vancouver Independent is available online. We plan to continue to digitise the collection pending funding.
This project is possible thanks to partnership between CCHM and the Washington State University Vancouver Library Archive and through partial funding from the Joanne Galloway Charitable Lead Trust.
Note: Please be patient, as these are large files and will take some time to load. You can view entire newspaper pages or individual articles (the latter are smaller files and therefore load more quickly). Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome are supported browsers.
|Please give us feedback about this new feature here.
Clark County Historical Museum Photograph Collection
The Clark County Historical Museum Photograph Collection includes over 11,000 photographic images from the main photograph collection at the Clark County Historical Museum. The collection contains images from Clark County's history as a community based on trade and agriculture during the nineteenth and early twentieth century as well as its growth in industry and commerce through the post World War II era. Other features in the collection include photographs of historic buildings, social life, notable families and citizens from the area and scenic views. Locations include Amboy, Brush Prairie, Battle Ground, Camas, Harmony, Heisson, Hockinson, La Center, Ridgefield, Vancouver, Washougal, Woodland, Yacolt and others.
This project is an ongoing collaboration between the Clark County Historical Museum (CCHM), the Washington State University Vancouver Library and the Washington State University Libraries Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections (MASC). Funding for this project was provided by Clark County's Historical Promotion Grants Program.
Vancouver Branch of the NAACP Digital Collection
The Vancouver Branch of the NAACP collection featured in the Columbia River Basin Ethnic History Archive (CREBHA) contains over 120 selected items from the collection including manuscripts, photographs, publications, newspaper clippings and ephemera that documents the history of the organization and its presence in Vancouver , Washington over the past 50 years. The collection highlights the organizations participation in racial equality, its tradition of community service in education, employment, health and housing and its ongoing relationship with city and civil leaders in efforts to address the needs of the African American community in Vancouver and across the nation. The collection features a number of programs and ephemera from community campaign, meetings, conferences and cultural events.
The Vancouver Branch of the NAACP Digital Collection exists thanks to a partnership between the Vancouver chapter of the NAACP and the Washington State University Vancouver History Department
Mapping Clark County
The Mapping Clark County Collection includes selections from the Clark County Historical Museum's maps collection, aerial photographs collection and general photograph collection. Images include subject sections involving geography, aerial views, street scenes and transportation. The collection is intended to show examples of Clark County's transforming landscape over time.
Mapping Clark County is a collaborative effort between the CCHM, the WSU Vancouver Library and WSU Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections (MASC).
