Watch this Google+ Hangout featuring tips for community engagement, moderation and building loyal relationships with your audience.
The Hangout, which marked the 2014 Community Manager Appreciation Day, includes advice from Ed Walker, digital development editor at Trinity Mirror, Hannah Waldram, community manager, EMEA, at Instagram, and magazine publisher Marc Thomas.
Ed, who worked with Hannah and Marc on the eBook Connected, wrote on his blog that the three key things he took away from the Hangout were:
- Keep calls to action simple
- Offline engagement is just as important as online
- Give more attention to those readers who are providing positive input, rather than trolls and "drag-me-downs"

The council passed an ordinance involving the 1-cent sales tax, which the council approved earlier this month. Three-fourths of the tax will go to the city's general fund, which will be used to cover the cost of running the city's day-to-day operations. One-fourth will go to the city's garbage fund, which will be used to purchase a new garbage truck.
Carbon Hill Mayor James Richardson also announced that stop signs going north and south on Dogtown Road will be taken down in the near future, but the city wanted to make the public aware of it before it actually happened.
"We just wanted to let everyone know that the signs were going to be removed, so they could get used to the idea before they (the signs) were actually taken down," Richardson said. "The school is no longer there and removing the signs will help the traffic flow better on Dogtown Road."
The city council also made recommendations regarding the city's employee handbook, for which Richardson ask for approval of the new city holidays.
"The council recommended that New Year's Day, King/Lee Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas be adopted as the new city holidays," Richardson said. "We also recommended that all full-time employees who have to work on any of these holidays, be allowed to take a day off with pay to make up for having to work."
Richardson announced that a hearing for suspended Carbon Hill Police Chief Kenneth Bobo has been set for Friday, March 8, at noon in the council chambers in the Carbon Hill Community Center. The public is invited to attend.
Bobo was reportedly suspended from duty with pay earlier this month by Richardson, who would not comment on the reasons for the suspension.
A public hearing regarding a water/sewer grant for a city water project has also been set for the next Carbon Hill City Council meeting, which will be Thursday, March 14.
Carbon Hill City Clerk Kim Sides said she would begin sending out city business licenses within the next week or so, and the city's court date has been changed from Tuesday, April 2, to Tuesday, April 9, due to a conflict in scheduling with the city's magistrate.
Other business conducted by the Carbon Hill City Council included:
•The discussion of an issue introduced by a member of the audience regarding the public address system in the council chambers, which reportedly does not work properly.
The council declared it was working to get the system repaired as quickly as possible.
•The council granted Margie Miles' requests for a copy of the city's financial reports.
•The council also discussed an issue surrounding some phone calls Carbon Hill District 5 Councilman Chris Pschirer has been receiving from citizens concerning the housing of farm animals within the city limits.
Pschirer said he thought the city had an ordinance in place regarding the matter. Richardson said he knew the area of the community Pschirer was talking about and he would look into the matter.
Sides said on Friday that a moratorium was passed on June 16, 2011, which states any animals remaining in the city may stay, but no new animals can be put in after the date the moratorium was approved.

RALEIGH — The historians, doctors, preachers, lawyers, raging grannies, students and others gathered around the second-floor fountain inside the Legislative Building and belted out This Little Light of Mine and other songs.
They were diverse in age and backgrounds but united in voice as part of a protest movement gaining numbers in recent weeks.
In the four months since North Carolina Republicans took control of both General Assembly chambers and the governors mansion, the lawmakers have proposed rapid and sweeping change to the states electoral processes, health care policies, welfare management and publicly-funded education systems.
The Republicans, some who emerged from a protest movement of their own the tea party dissatisfied with the cost and influence of government contend theyre doing the business of the people who voted them into office. They say their critics are simply bitter that their party no longer is in power.
So, as the new-to-power legislators roll out bill after bill, a new wave of protesters is heading for Raleigh. The protesters say they are not radicals but everyday North Carolinians worried that the leadership of the General Assembly is reversing the states progress in ensuring equality, tolerance and respect for human dignity.
The dissenters plan to gather weekly at the state legislature for Moral Mondays a series of demonstrations that have resulted in 50 arrests so far. They acknowledge that their concerns might be tuned out by the supermajority against them. But the protesters hope to persuade others to rise up with them and raise their voices to a future that might bring a political shift in 2014.
Thirty demonstrators were taken to the Wake County jail on Monday after capital police cited them for trespassing and disorderly conduct. A week before that, 17 people were arrested at the demonstration organized by the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP. Though their strategies are modeled on civil rights-era protests, the trailblazers from earlier decades faced longer stints in jail, beatings and job loss.
Dr. Charles van der Horst, an internationally known AIDS researcher from UNC-Chapel Hill, was among those arrested Monday.
Though the 61-year-old from Chapel Hill is known among family, friends and colleagues as an opinionated man who isnt shy about speaking his mind, van der Horst had never before risked arrest to make a point.
I was scared, he said hours after being released from jail. Im thinking, Im violating a state law.
But van der Horst, a physician who has traveled the world to advocate for preventive health care policies, had become alarmed by the GOP leaderships refusal to accept a Medicaid expansion under federal health care reform that would limit health care access for nearly half a million people. He also was disturbed by legislation that requires voters to show identification at the polls but also decreases the number of days ballots can be cast before Election Day.
He complained about legislators who advocate for restrictions on abortion and contend they are pro-life but then support bills to cut early childhood education programs and access to Medicare.
You realize these people arent pro-life, pro-North Carolinians, van der Horst said. Theyre for themselves.
Van der Horst said his experience in jail was deeply moving, and he quickly posted to Facebook with hopes of attracting others to follow suit.
A reunion behind bars
While in jail for hours, the protesters sang songs and bonded with others of similar political leanings. Van der Horst reminisced about a civil rights demonstration in Olean, N.Y., that he attended as a teen with his father.
He thought about Henry David Thoreau and the philosophers civil disobedience essays, and he found himself incarcerated with a history professor who taught him as an undergraduate years ago at Duke University.
That professor, William Chafe, a former dean of arts and sciences at Duke, said he and other North Carolina historians resorted to civil disobedience because they worry that the new legislative direction threatened to destroy the very history theyve spent their lives studying and celebrating.
We thought it was important to stand up and be heard, Chafe said earlier this week after spending his first night in jail. We hope that as respected historians, who some would call eminent, we can reach out to others and stir them to speak out.
It is uncertain whether the demonstrators will have any sway on a party flexing its political muscle at full strength for the first time in more than a century.
Folks are obviously free to exercise their First Amendment rights, and we understand that in a democracy, disagreement is part of the process, said Jordan Shaw, communications director for Thom Tillis, the Mecklenburg County Republican who is speaker of the House. But the process functions most effectively through productive dialogue, which is what we are focused on.
Efforts to reach Phil Berger, the Rockingham County Republican who is president pro tempore of the Senate, were unsuccessful.
Dallas Woodhouse, North Carolina director for Americans for Prosperity, an advocacy organization inspired by the tea party movement and founded by billionaires, said, I think mass arrest and claims of tyranny tend to get tuned out.
Woodhouse, too, acknowledged a right to free speech but contended the demonstrators were blocking the rights of others. It is one thing to advance your free-speech rights, Woodhouse said. It is another to try to block the business of the General Assembly.
Court fights also planned
The Rev. William Barber, head of the state chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the architect of the recent civil disobedience, said his organization was taking a multipronged approach in its fight against the Republican supermajority.
When the NAACP advocates can, they will take their fight to the courts with legal challenges. The NAACP also plans to branch out across the state to inform the public of the impact of bills. Separately, others participating in the protests plan to start recruiting and raising money for candidates in 2014.
It takes time for people to understand whats really happening to them and what the issues are, Barber said. We call this the avalanche effect, whats going on there, and we dont want people to experience this avalanche without knowing whats coming. What theyre doing is regressive, extreme and race-based.
Barber said his organization did not lightly advocate for civil disobedience. He contends that he and others tried to engage in respectful debate with legislators and the governor. Theyve turned a deaf ear to that, Barber said. We want them to look the people in the eye the people who wont get Medicaid, the children who wont get early childhood education and tell them what theyre doing.
We say, If your policy is so good, then look those people in the eye and tell them why youre doing what youre doing.
Though some describe Barber and the demonstrations organized by the NAACP as attention-grabbing moves that are less about policy and more about publicity, others in Wake County who remember similar comments made during the school redistricting fight, offer a different perspective.
When the Wake County schools were under the control of a Republican-majority school board, the GOP leaders attempted to change the school assignment policy, which had supported diverse schools, to one based on neighborhoods.
Effect of enhanced attention
Barber, who does not live in Wake County, thrust himself into the debate, saying he feared a step away from the systems diversity policy would be a giant leap back toward the days of separate and unequal education in North Carolinas largest school system. More than once, Barber was hauled away from board meetings in handcuffs, arrested for disrupting business and refusing to leave school property.
Yevonne Brannon, a critic of the neighborhood-based plan that ultimately failed, said Barbers involvement, and his multipronged strategy that also included legal challenges with the civil disobedience, brought heightened publicity and more speakers to an issue that was going somewhat undetected.
After the protests, Democrats gained control of the board in 2011, and that board is in the process of crafting a new assignment plan that they say will support diversity.
I think the enhanced attention was very beneficial, Brannon said.
Brannon, who keeps abreast of state politics but has yet to participate in a protest, said she worries about the state legislative policies that would make major revisions to public education in North Carolina and other bills that have received national attention, some from late-night comedians.
I do feel deep remorse that our state has gotten to the point where once again were getting this negative national attention, Brannon said. I am sad that people feel like they have to use civil disobedience to get their elected officials attention. I think if the elected officials paid more attention, we wouldnt have to be like this.

That's That Shit: 5/22/13: Everyone's Quitting, I Don't Even Know Where to StartA comics news article
Last Week's News, This Week's Comics for 05/22/13
Hi. That's That Shit is exactly what it says above -- we talk in-depth about everything that happened in the comics world last week, and then look forward to some notable releases slated for this coming Wednesday.
Your panel of judges are Comics Bulletin Managing Editors Danny Djeljosevic and Nick Hanover, who pretty much have paper and ink in their blood, and CB Columns Editor Andrew Tan, who got his start in comics late in life through Adrian Tomine and is slowly dipping his toes into the broader aspects of the medium. So we deliver the news, Andrew asks the questions and hopefully everyone learns something.
Bang on.
James Robinson No Longer at DC
Scott Lobdell offers to pick up his slack
Nick Hanover: James Robinson, who is perhaps best known for his work on DC titles like Starman and The Golden Age, has announced that he is leaving the company, with Earth-2 #16 functioning as his last issue at the publisher. Though it appears that Robinson is leaving on friendly terms, his departure from the company isn't a good sign for Earth-2 and it isn't exactly promising for DC, either. DC has struggled with keeping talent these past two years and Robinson is simply the latest evidence of DC's brain drain, and it's a bit odd that his resignation was announced via Twitter, rather than through a press release or any kind of official announcement. Robinson does have a new Image series on the horizon, called The Saviors, so Robinson may have left DC in order to focus on creator owned work, or he may have some upcoming tv or film announcement, since he has a long history of work in those fields.
Art from The Saviors
Andrew: I was at my local comic shop the other day and I heard someone talk about how they're trying to get away from DC/Marvel and was getting into Image comics. In general is this hemorrhage of talent related to the prominence of creator owned comics and the wild success of Robert Kirkman?
Danny: It seems like nobody's happy at DC -- with constant needs for rewrites and last minute changes to previously approved storylines and overall editorial chokeholds, writers have been quitting books like crazy since the whole New 52 relaunch began. With the decline of Vertigo, DC's own creator-owned imprint, and the success of stuff like Walking Dead and Chew, Image has become the place to be for quality creator-owned comics. DC and Marvel have both hired creators based on their Image work, but it hasn't been working out too well for DC for the most part. Mainly because they're hiring people who are used to working without a whole lot of editorial and then beating them over the head with lots of editorial mandates.
James Robinson, in happier times
Liefeld Turns to Kickstarter to Relaunch Brigade
Top level donors get year supply of pouches
Nick: Because we all demanded it, Rob Liefeld has decided to relaunch his old Image series Brigade, which I have no memory of whatsoever but probably own a billion issues of it anyway because of my habit of walking into Half-Prices and buying gigantic boxes of comics they can't sell. Apparently it lasted for 24 issues as a regular series, and was rebooted once before in 2010 when good ol' Rob managed to do exactly one issue of it before giving up. But the important thing here is that Liefeld wants to Kickstart it so that he can give the first issue away for free.
As much as I like creators taking the indie music approach of giving away stuff for free because you've already admitted to yourself that no one wants to spend money on your labor of love, this seems a little ridiculous. The last time the series was rebooted it was a failure, and as far as I know, this is not a Liefeld series with a devoted cult following. So what Liefeld is asking for, it seems, is a Kickstarter for the comics equivalent of a vanity pressing. But what do I know? Liefeld is more than halfway towards his goal of $17,500 so clearly he's onto something.
Wait, what's that? If I pledge $1500 or more I get the opportunity to have lunch with Rob in Orange County? And he'll "pick up the tab at one of Rob's favorite spots?" AND he'll entertain me with "stories from a 27 year career in comic books?!" Well, shit, can all of us CB Staff somehow put together $1500 and document the experience? I nominate Andrew as our representative.
Art from Brigade, notice distinct lack of pouches
Andrew: Only if I can ask him how he got Johnny "Legs" Leguizamo to be in Spawn.
Danny: That's Todd McFarlane.
comiXpress Shuts Down
Forfeits ownership of awkward capitalizations of the letter X to comiXology
Nick: ComiXpress, which specialized in printing comics on demand, announced they were shutting their service down this week after nearly a decade of operations. As many people have pointed out online, comiXpress had some quality control issues and were notorious for their problems getting back to people in an orderly fashion. While they did have some high profile clients, specifically the Cerebus Archives, those issues apparently caused them to lose significant market share to competing services like Lulu, which has a better reputation though it does cost more. More recently, Ka-Blam has provided a cheaper alternative, though it too suffers from quality control complaints.
As services like comiXology's Submit become more popular, it stands to reason that we may continue to see POD services fold until only one or two are left standing. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as quality control problems can be killer for any indie comics creator hoping to compete for rack space with the big guns, and hopefully the better products will win out in the end.
Andrew: Tee-hee, you used fold when referring to print-on-demand companies shutting down.
Danny: This isn't a huge loss, thankfully -- there are lots of POD services self-publishers can hit up instead.
New Company, Fangrabs, Aims to be Netflix of Comics
Will also make super weird recommendations based on your roommate's abuse of your account
Nick: A new company called "Fangrabs" has launched, and its business plan is to be the Netflix of comics. Basically, you use their service to check out graphic novels and manga, they deliver them to you, you return them when you're done, you know the drill. The subscription fee starts at $15/month, which allows you to check out two titles per month, while $20/month nets you unlimited service, two titles at a time. It's not a bad idea, especially for people who live in less populated areas and don't have access to good comic book shops or well-stocked libraries and prefer physical editions to digital material. And they apparently have content from all the major publishers, including DC, Marvel, Fantagraphics, Image, Dark Horse, etc.
But what I'm curious to hear is how they're legally able to provide this service. There aren't regulations around comic rentals in the same way there are around video rentals, and they seem to be operating in a kind of grey area that makes me wonder how long it will be before one of the publishers takes offense. There's no information whatsoever on the site about how they license this material or whether any of the money goes back to the publishers and creators and that's slightly concerning, particularly since there's no real answer to what would happen if you subscribed to the service and soon after they were shut down.
Also that logo is fucking horrible. Sorry, I just need to point that out. HORRIBLE.
Andrew: Fangrabs isn't the best name either. Although this does seem like a great idea, what with the rise of high resolution screens that can begin to rival the quality of printed comics. However, at a price point higher than Netflix's service, I can't see this getting off the ground at all.
Danny: So it's like a library except you have to pay for it?
CW's Wonder Woman Has New Writer
This is still a thing?
Nick: Aron Coleite, who has credits on series like Heroes and even Marvel's Ultimate X-Men, has been added to the CW's still in-development series Wonder Woman, which the CW previously had scripted by The OC's Allan Heinberg. The CW notably did not develop a pilot from that script, but apparently they have not abandoned Wonder Woman just yet, and are still working at developing a series for the iconic character.
Of course, before all this, the first attempt to bring Wonder Woman back to the silver screen met heavy criticism due to its attempts to merge Wonder Woman with series like Ally McBeal, which isn't that surprising considering it was a pilot for NBC done by David E. Kelley. There's no telling whether this will ever go anywhere, but given the success of Arrow, it's no wonder the CW would continue to put energy into the project, as they're more or less the only place to watch superheroes on tv anymore, until SHIELD premiers, that is.
Our thoughts exactly, Wonder Woman
Andrew: Please, please, please tell me that Wonder McBeal pilot is somewhere on the internet. And that there's a dancing baby gif WITH A MAGIC LASSO.
Danny: People say Wonder Woman's a tough property to adapt, but that sounds like bullshit to me. Suits are just overthinking the thing because it's a female superhero and they're afraid nobody will be into it. Either way, if it's on the CW it's going to look pretty bad, judging by Arrow/Smallville/Birds of Prey.
Nick: You best not be talkin' shit about Arrow, Danny. Garsee will come in beat you senseless with She-Hulk figurines.
Sunny Vol. 1
(Taiyo Matsumoto, Viz)
Danny: Matsumoto's that realness -- one of the few Japanese comics creators with indie sensibilities to make their way across the Pacific. He's got a really distinct style as seen in the classic Tekkon Kinkreet, and Sunny is his latest series. Translated by Michael Arias, director of the Tekkon Kinkreet animated film, Sunny follows three kids at a Japanese orphanage in a more "slice of life" approach than the energetic Tekkon, but expect great art comics contained within this hardcover.
Nick: I needed a new manga to pick up, and this seems perfect, especially since it's just starting and I won't be tempted to go buy the entire series all at once like I did with 20th Century Boys (thanks Danny, you asshole).
Danny: Dang, I never got past Volume 1 of 20th Century Boys (but only out of laziness) You're ahead of me on that one (and only that one). If you ever come across any Matsumoto book, pick it up because they're pretty hard to find. That's how I own a copy of Gogo Monster without the slipcase cover.
My Dirty Dumb Eyes
(Lisa Hanawalt; Drawn & Quarterly)
Danny: I think people on the internet know the work of Lisa Hanawalt already. She's got stuff all over the place. Here's a review she drew of War Horse. She was part of the now-defunct Pizza Island collective with Julia Wertz, Kate Beaton and Meredith Gran. Go google her, I ain't your momma. but My Dirty Dumb Eyes is her first major print release and it's probably hilarious.
Nick: Drawn & Quarterly has turned into a haven for web-based female indie creators and I'm 100% into that. As much as Chester Brown's work fascinates me, I can only handle his brand of male creepiness for so long before I start contemplating self-castration. And I say that as someone who chose Paying for It the book of its respective year not once, but twice.
Admittedly, I didn't recognize Hanawalt's name at first, but after checking out the War Horse review, I've definitely seen her work and enjoy her style, as it's situated somewhere between Phil McAndrew and Graham Roumieu, what with the watercolors and heavy use of white space and surreality. I'm glad to see publishers like Drawn & Quarterly branch out into showcasing more of this kind of content rather than heavy handed autobio stuff and I think that cartoonists like Hanawalt have promising futures.
Danny: You have no idea how pleased I am that "indie comics" no longer means "male creeps."
The Bounce #1
(Joe Casey, Dave Messina; Image)
Danny: Joe Casey doing a superhero comic is rarely not a treat. He's a writer who's always trying to come up with new approaches to the genre and Hanover and I (at least) can't get enough of it. The second of his slew of new releases for 2013 is The Bounce, which combines superheroes and slackers and stuff. I don't know much about it, but I'm excited to pick it up. I dunno, man, it's a superhero comic, do you really need a pitch there?
Nick: I know Image has been billing The Bounce as a slacker Spider-Man and that seems silly, but hey, if it works, so be it. All I know is that I trust Joe Casey and whatever he wants to do with superherodom, I'm content to watch, especially when it's at Image, as the publisher has been on a roll with reinventions of superherodom for the past few years. For people who are bored with the traditional mainstream superheroics and in need of something that isn't afraid to take itself less seriously, look no further than The Bounce.

Five years ago Living the Autism Maze was a springboard in Vermont for numerous discussions about autism. At the conclusion of the film at its Premiere, some people were leaving with tears in their eyes, some with smiles, and all with provocative questions and a sense of wonder. Not only did they see joy in our kids, but also a more firm understanding that answers are the kind of thing that are not easy to come by.
Within 6 months of the film's release rates of autism had increased from 1 in 166 births to 1 in 150. Now those rates are 1 in 110.
Almost 4 years ago I embarked on another path, to tell the story through radio. My initial guests talked about efforts in legislation, employment, and treatment. We also began embracing all disabilities because you know, autism isn't just ONE thing. I hope you'll tell me what moves you, what you want more of, what works in this radio series. Remember developmental pediatricians harping for years on behavioral intervention as the medicine of choice for our kids? Well, you need funding to do that. So let's get going. Let's talk and learn. One in 5 might not even be accurate anymore for the number of people with disabilities in America, but they're all around us. The Next Frontier.....

I hope you enjoy it.View Anne's Tweets on TwitterContact me to see this film, which is a snapshot in time, and click on the archived radio shows about autism and disabilities. You'll find it's hard to stereotype. The issues can be intense as well as delightful. Welcome again if you're visiting the site more than once!

CATEGORIES Documentary, Box Office, Movie Marketing, Movies, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeAfter the wild success of March of the Penguins, Paramount Classics thought they had a solid follower with Arctic Tale -- the story of a walrus and her calf and a polar bear and her cubs. They scored a promotional partner in Starbucks and waited for the success. Well, where Penguins earned millions, Variety reports that Tale has only earned $484,000 in the past month -- not quite the popularity they were expecting. (Penguins had nabbed millions in the same amount of time.)
But it seems that no matter how much Starbucks can infiltrate the US, and slip a store on practically every street corner, they can't seem to beef up movie sales. Tale is their second attempt -- the first was Akeelah and the Bee, which also performed below expectations. But it's not without some effort -- for this latest film, the company installed signage and stickers, specially-branded cup sleeves, sold plush walruses, sold the film's soundtrack and had special discussions in some stores about climate change. They didn't go further, like specially-named drinks, to avoid over-commercializing the tie-in, which I have to respect. "We are careful to promote our products and projects in a tasteful manner and not to interfere with the coffeehouse experience," says Ken Lombard. The article also mentions how the stores don't have screens to air footage, but really, it's a flipping coffeehouse -- that's a good thing! Is the problem how Starbucks is promoting it, the films themselves, or something else?

America Must Be Destroyed is a very underrated metal classic along with many other GWAR albums but this album every metalhead should give a listen to. Every song on this album is good but stand out tracks include "Ham on the Bone", "Crack in the Egg", "Gor-Gor", "Have you Seen Me", "Blimey", "Gilded Lily", "Rock N' Roll Never Felt so Good" and the less heavy but amazing "Road Behind". This is their second heaviest album and in my opinion their second best. If you're into metal I recommend picking this album up. You won't be dissapointed

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Seriously, us Gwar fans have to get off our lazy rears and start reviewing these albums! (This one in particular being their heaviest and coolest) I finally just stopped being lazy and signed up on Amazon and now I'm writing reviews. Why is this Gwar's best? 3 Reasons people:
1- It's basically the heaviest, in-your-face album of theirs next to Vha (which I haven't heard)
2- It's arguably their funniest album as well as being the most intelligent (examples Have you Seen Me? and the nicely crafted title track instrumental)
3- Gwar really shows their potential as excellent musicians. Balsac shreds on the axe, Beefcake tears up the bass, Oderus has killer vocals on here (and a variety of them too), and Jizmak brings serious drums.
Oh wait I just thought of another reason, the album art!!!! You just have to see some of the drawings inside the insert, especially for Rock and Roll Never felt So Good (yeah as other reviewers have said, it's indeed sick). It definitely makes actually purchasing the album worthwhile.
Now I'll try a feeble attempt at rating my favorite songs:
Ham on the Bone 10/10 An INTENSE, short but sweet opening track. (…) The song is kind of grindcore-esque.
Crack in the Egg 9/10 A nice track telling how Oderus and the gang artificially enhance the egg of a Godzilla-type lizard with injected crack and such.
Gor-gor 9/10 Of course the next track tells of the havoc and mayhem that the newly conceived tyrant lizard creates. With Oderus yelling out 'GOR-GOR!!!' this is the epitome of a solid Gwar anthem.
Have you seen me? 9/10 John Walsh, creator of America's Most Wanted would certainly NOT find this song funny. Well that's Gwar for y'all, vile, unscrupulous, un-PC. Has a jazzy tune to it actually, pretty cool. It rocks hard toward the end though.
Morality Squad 10/10 I love how these guys poke fun of the uber-PC losers that try and suppress the essence of Gwar. One of their most meaningful songs in their entire catalogue I'd say.
Last but not least, the ultimate ballad, "The Road Behind" 100/10
I just love this one, this is the first Gwar song I heard (when they showed the video on Beavis and Butthead) and I was like, "Dude I have to check this guys out!" So glad I did too since I discovered a band oozing with creativity and individuality. Ya just won't find a band like this anywhere else. If you like this I urge you to check out This Toilet Earth, Scumdogs, Ragnarok, and I hear VHA and War Party are sweet too.
A lot of people rate this as one of GWAR's heaviest albums, and that's just as unfair as the critics who try to lump them in with Thrash Metal. While "America Must Be Destroyed" does indeed have some incredibly heavy songs, it also has some incredibly well-played lighter pieces including a classic rock ballad (or a parody of one) and a jazzy bluesy piece (mostly).
The album opens up with "Ham on the Bone", a rocking and fast bit of metal that does a great job setting the stage for the rest of the album. "Crack in the Egg" is another hard hitter that, though excellent, mostly sets the stage for the next track- "Gor-Gor". If the beginning of the album was Thrash Metal, this can only be Extreme Metal since that's the even harder genre I can think of at the moment. If you're not head-banging when this tune kicks in, turn in your T-shirt at the door, you're not a metal fan.
This is where the album changes gears completely. Mostly. "Have You Seen Me?" combines lyrics about abducting children- the title is a reference to the pictures on milk cartons from ages past- with some light and summery instrumentals complete with a ukulele, right before breaking into what might be some of the hardest metal on the album. You can really hear Beefcake (the bassist) tearing it up toward the end. This isn't just a mixture of styles, it's a fusion of two impossibly distant genres that devolves into absolute chaos at the end. And it's brilliant.
The rest of the album is a bit hit or miss, which isn't a problem since the first few singles are worth the purchase price. Highlights include the Morality squad, sung by an elderly grandmother hellbent on destroying GWAR, and The Road Behind- GWAR's take on a Rock Ballad that sounds a lot like a satire of a band like Guns & Roses and is all the better for it. 'Can't you hear me cryin', just like a sad whale song?'. I'm really not a fan of "Gilded Lily" or "America Must Be Destroyed" (one of GWAR's two instrumental songs, though it does feature sampled spoken word) in particular, but the album overall makes up for it.
If you're a GWAR fan, this album is a nice blend of the old and the new. It has a ton of heavier metal, but also quite a bit of the punk and experimental bits that were more prominent on earlier albums. If you're not a fan, this is an odd but worthwhile album to get introduced to the band. I might recommend "Scumdogs" or "Violence Has Arrived" as a starting point before diving into this album. Either way, this is an excellent part of the GWAR catalogue, and I'm hoping some of the tracks make it into their next tour (especially "Gor-Gor").
Not only GWAR's best but in my opinion one of the best Heavy Metal records ever. From the opening track "Ham on the bone" to the Genius complexity of the title track, every song on this record is great. Don't be swayed by people who say GWAR is just a joke. I like all of GWAR's albums but this one most certainly proves they can contend with any band out there musicaly.
GWAR has gone thru many musical metamorphisis changes over the years; from punk, to metal, to thrash – and even experimenting with country and jazz.This is definitely their "heaviest" album. The hardest vocals, and the hardest music. Its also mixed to have a really heavy metal sound to it. For those of you that enjoyed their previous album, Scumdogs of the Universe, or just a person who wants to pick up a GWAR record, this album has your name written all over it.Its not a great summary of how GWAR is going to sound in the following years, but if you want to hear the heaviness GWAR is capable of, pick up this album (or "Violence Has Arrived", which is said to be their heaviest metal album to date).Some highlights of this album are Crack on the Egg… this song focuses on the birth of the tyrant lizard 'Gor Gor', and how they 'conceived' it. Gor-Gor appears in many GWAR albums following, and finally comes to life in its own song. Have You Seen Me is a GWAR song best noted for the improvisation between Beefcake and Oderus in concerts – but its definitely not a song you want to blast in the car when driving down the road. The Morality Squad is another one of those "GWAR villian" songs. This time, squad leader Granbo (and her goons) want to shut down GWAR forever – why? Because they say GWAR is immoral, they claim GWAR corrupts youth. What do they know? Whats that Granbo…? Cant sing well with Oderus' sword shoved down your throat? Whoops!As for the title track, its completely instrumental with snippets of political debates and other doodads inserted into the song. I cant say I can get in depth to what it means… I guess GWAR is rebelling against the government in this one (although I dont care… really I dont).Rock & Roll Never Felt So Good was the first GWAR song I heard, and it's definitely one of the ugliest (but awesome) and most grotesque song that I can remember. Beware of the artwork for that song in the insert booklet, its vile)It appears theres a softer side to GWAR… in the song The Road Behind. Beefcake (Mike Bishop) sings on this song's chorus. Why they let him sing… no one knows (this song isnt even about him anyway) but he does have a punkish gruffy voice. You'll also hear Beefcake singing on the last track, Pussy Planet.Ham on the Bone (the first track… listed down here for unknown purposes) is a great song, but I dont know what its about and how it has significance to the album. Thats the same case with Gilded Lily, Poor Old Tom, and Blimey. They're great songs… but I dont know what their meaning is, as most GWAR songs have meaning and storyline to them.

WAKE FOREST — Police say they have identified a man who robbed a PNC Bank on Wednesday but have not arrested him yet.
Investigators have obtained warrants charging Lanson Paul Stalf, 37, with common law robbery, said town spokesman Bill Crabtree.
Police have accused Stalf of robbing the PNC Bank at 3619 Rogers Road around noon on Wednesday. They have not said how he carried out the robbery or if he got away with any money.
According to state records, Stalf has a local address on Strome Avenue in Raleigh and does not have a criminal history in North Carolina. Before moving to Wake County, Stalf lived in Eugene, Oregon.
On May 31, the Internal Revenue Service filed a tax lien for $23,547 against Stalf, state records show.
Stalf was still at large Thursday afternoon, police reported. Investigators ask anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the Wake Forest Police Department at 919-556-9111.

There are many small and wonderful dramatic accomplishments in the underappreciated gem that is Battlestar Galactica, but perhaps the most enduring is that what was conceived of as an epic space adventure has turned into a finely detailed, intimate drama.
The series' brilliant conceit is that enemies are often sane and rational, and many good guys and gals are obsessed, flawed, and ruthless.
Simply put, the journey of Battlestar Galactica is one long, exhilarating headtrip.
The multitude of exegeses and theories devoted to major plot twists and minor details attest to the series's enduring egghead appeal.
Though Sci Fi only sent one Season 4 episode for review, it looks as though the prodigal pilot, as well as the rest of the Galactica crew, is in for a bumpy ride.
Never mind the feminine religious cult Baltar falls into in this premiere. Add that to the clue-packed promotional photograph circulating of the BSG cast mimicking "The Last Supper," and what began as a deep, dark sci-fi drama seems to be turning into an anti-Arthur C. Clarke religious tract.
To be honest, I'm weary of Baltar and his endless visions/hallucinations, as I am of the fleet's wandering as the surviving colonists try, somewhat fitfully, to find their way back to a home planet none of them remembers.

Nov 29, 2012Things are coming to a head for the characters of Galactica, with Starbuck's mad quest, grumblings of rebellion among the fleet, and the shocking revelation of the final five (in one of the greatest scenes ever put to film.) I found this season to be a seamless continuation of the BSG story and an edge-of-your seat political thrill ride.… Expand
Apr 11, 2013Should go down as one the greats. Philosophical, spiritual, beautiful, ugly, violent, and most of the time extremely well done. This series I believe ranks in the top 5 of The Wire, Sopranos, and Breaking Bad. The shows human elements are so well constructed and by the time I hit the 4th season my brain was already melted. There are few wayward episodes that do not move the story forward, and some of the characters presences and acting are better than others, but believe this series fracking rocks.… Expand
Jul 1, 2011best show ever, no doubt about it. consistantly excellent even tho the last season went off the rails a little (4 is the last season not 5 so not sure why MC has that down?) Great acting , great set pieces throughout - just watch watch watch (and from the beginning!)… Collapse
May 25, 2013Judging this Third Season of Battlestar Galactica by the high standards of Seasons One and Two it is easy to view it as a slight disappointment, particularly since it starts strongly following the last year's unexpected cliff-hanger.
Much of what made Battlestar so good for Two Seasons remains in place here. Refusing to pull its punches the opening episodes deal unflinchingly with the issues raised when an occupying force comes up against a determined local resistance (in a conflict that draws comparisons with the US occupation of Iraq). This strong storytelling combined with excellent performances from the cast and breathtaking combat scenes continues to make for fantastic viewing on plenty of occasions.
Where this series did falter however was in the increased focus on the Cylons. Season two had already done an excellent job of showing that they are not all the monsters we first believed them to be and Baltar's experiences aboard their ship, as well as often being unnecessary to the plot, came close to taking the show into your typical cliched sci-fi territory on more than one occasion and that has never been what Battlestar has been about.
Despite these mis-steps I can still highly recommend this Third season to anyone that has enjoyed the show so far and the many plot twists will keep viewers guessing throughout.… Expand

Town Square
Let's have more creativity in town - from playgrounds to downtown
Original post made by diana diamond on Jan 15, 2007
I read that and thought, how great. Here are a group of people that are eagerly trying something new a playground that will help children interact with new play features water, ramps, sand and objects meant to spur the imagination, not just make the body climb up and down.
And then I thought, we are in Silicon Valley, in a community filled with parks, and maybe we could try the same thing. After all, our parks in town are cookie-cutter molds of playground equipment that has been around for decades. Maybe they are plastic rather than steel jungle gyms now, but each park seems to have almost identical play equipment and they all look the same. They are boring. And if we don't have creativity to develop new parks, how can we inspire our children to creatively enjoy our parks?
As I write this, I am also thinking about more than parks. I am envisioning a whole new creative process in town that we all could start thinking about, titled, "How do we make Palo Alto a more interesting, more attractive and more creative place to live in?"
But first back to the parks.
Mitchell Park years ago used to be an area mecca because it was such a creative playground with tunnels and water fountains holes in the ground, etc. And Sunnyvale had a Dixie steamboat park theme replete with waterfalls and fountains that was an absolute delight. But the lawyers must have gotten involved because what the kids play on now is safer, of course, but not imaginative.
Why not have neighborhood theme parks around town pirates, robots, power rangers, and princess parks for our kids? Why not have big sandy areas where kids can have castle-building contests and maybe equipment on hand, a la New York, to haul equipment from one place to the next?
It shouldn't take a fortune.
As for the adults in town, we could all start thinking about how to do some exciting things in our city that would make it more fun and prettier. And it need not cost a lot.
A few ideas I had:
• How about turning the plaza in front of city hall into a park filled with tables and chairs, where we could buy ice cream, desserts, coffee and wine and sit around and lick and sip away.
• Why not have colorful banners deck the rim of the park? The banners need not be immense but they could serve as a visual magnet to City Hall.
• Why not have the city buy one of the old buildings perhaps on Alma Street, and turn that area into another restaurant park? A new park downtown near the Homer Avenue tunnel could reinvigorate that part of town.
• Why not stage a cluster of colorful banners in certain parts of the downtown?
I think that if we all think creatively about Palo Alto, we could come up with a lot of neat ideas that need not cost much. What are some of yours?

If you've actually been to Mitchell Park lately, you must not have been looking too closely. Eight years ago, when the city had scheduled Mitchell Park for renovation with standard-issue plans and equipment, several neighbors including the sixth grade Connections class at JLS, argued that the original design was unique and shouldn't be scrapped or ignored. The Parks Department, with encouragement from the Architectural Review Board, agreed to re-think the re-design. They even consulted the original architect of the park, Robert Royston.
Many of the best parts of the original design were retained and refurbished, including the tunnels / gopher holes and the unique lanterns. i would say it is still a creative playground.
on Jan 17, 2007 at 9:23 pm
Hello Diana;
Thanks for paying attention to Parks.
This year Mitchell Park will be celebrating it's 50th anniversary. It continues to be studied in universities around the world for its ground breaking concepts and designs. The landscape architect Robert Royston is still living and a book was recently released on the impact of his work.
In 1999 many of the original features were slated for removal. ( See comment above) Due to community activism important aspects of the park and play structures were retained. Mitchell Park is a marvel in our midst. We need to celebrate and honor its existence.
I agree - the world needs open social and play spaces - and more of them. I hope we can build contemporary thoughtful spaces like New York has done and I hope we can recognize a treasure we've fought to hold on to here.

Back when Midtown was being "re-created" a few years ago "they" asked for community input as to what we would like to see there. I and a few others suggested a plaza type area where we could sit and drink coffee with perhaps a small play structure for toddlers, all done with amibience. This idea was ignored and instead we have a very ugly collection of strip malls, with a few tables outside many coffee shops. There is no where for young children to play while parents drink coffee and there is nowhere to eat outside the one sandwich shop (subway) and instead the staff illegally park their cars outside. Now where was any design in all of this I ask you?

The parents of an East Texas little girl are speaking out after her tragic death.
Patricia and Israel Preciado are asking for prayers, after their 16-month-old was killed when a Chapel Hill ISD school bus ran over her.
Neighbors told KLTV that little Aria Liz Preciado followed her mother, Patricia, outside to pick up her sister from the school bus.
Witnesses said Patricia did not know her daughter had followed her out to the street. Neighbors said they ran to the bus and started yelling at the driver to stop. However, the driver pulled forward, killing Ariana.
Patricia and Israel said little Aria would have turned two-years-old in September.
"She's very smart. Each time she wakes up she is never cranky, with a smile, giggling. She was a happy child. I can't say nothing bad about her," said Aria's mother, Patricia Preciado.

---- — TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga Central School District recently received a grant in support of its backpack food program.
This initiative sends income-eligible students at the Elementary-Middle School home each Friday with backpacks filled with nutritious foods to help them eat healthy over the weekend.
The $1,000 grant from the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation, based in Johnsburg, will enable Ticonderoga Central School to provide this additional nutrition to more students, John Bartlett, an organizer, said in an email.
He said the cost to sponsor one child in the program for an entire school year is only $167.
Thanks to the support the program has received from donors and charitable organizations, the backpack program at Ticonderoga Central School has been able to grow and serve more eligible students, he said.
The program, which began in January 2013, started with 30 students, grew to 45 in April and, beginning this month, will expand to 60 eligible students.
The food for the backpacks is purchased through the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.
"The hope is to be able to continue to grow and expand this program to serve more and more children," Bartlett said.

Only wanted to add two things to Nick's awesome remembrance here.
1. All of us UCB kids are lucky. The early UCB days were all about the DIY because it wasn't even in most of our minds that comedy was a career. Luckily, even though so many people have proved that it is by now, that DIY spirit is still alive and well. Awesome people from (I'm gonna guess) the 80th generation are still putting up funny shit for no money that THEY like to please THEM.
2. And I want to give a shout-out to people who always seem to miss the best shows! To the tired people, those who "need to go home" and miss the awesome show/experience that everyone will be talking about. I saw a lot of the cool things Nick described but I missed a lot more of them. And someone out there right now is missing another cool thing today, so here's to you buddy!
Thanks for your support, everyone.
its been a beautiful year so far.
hope you understand that i post this in good spirits, and with love for all involved!
I wrote this last year.
I thought I'd post it, then I never did… i wanted to let it all cool off… besides, enough people…
People have been asking me about my window at the UCB Theatre in NYC.
Yes, it IS a giant coloring book.
A couple of weeks ago, I got permission to dress the UCB Theatre window to promote Doug Moe is a Bad Dad (this Wednesday at UCB NY: please come!). I was just about to leave for LA to…
I have two shows in September: 9/7 and 9/14 at 8pm. It's like a Creep reunion month for me: one show with Ryan Karels, the other with Jeff Hiller (and Amy Heidt).
Please come see this show! I'm really proud of it.
One of the reasons/excuses I have for not writing on this blog as much as I'd like to be has been that I have been busting my ass on a new stage show. I'm super-proud of this show and it's going to debut on the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre stage next Friday at 7:30pm. It's called Doug…

As United gets ready to paint Manchester Red, Micah Richards takes a backhanded slap at his own team, while praising United's "togetherness".
"United have got togetherness," the Express quotes Richards as saying. "Look at someone like Ji-Sung Park. When he doesn't play, he doesn't moan, does he? Then Sir Alex Ferguson brings him in for a lot of the big games.
It's true, Park has the talent to start on many Premiere League teams, yet, you never hear him complain when guys in front of him get starts, despite dips in form. Yet, even when City players play, they whine and moan when they have to come out, isn't that right Carlos Tevez?
"What has been hard at City is that we have 20 to 25 internationals. We all want to play and when you don't, you get upset. Sometimes that's hard to deal with. That has been the hardest thing. You don't see players at United complaining to their manager when they are taken off.
This is also because Sir Alex makes sure everyone knows that playing at Manchester United is a PRIVLAGE, not a right. Manchini isn't exactly Mr. Disipline either. He caved into Tevez's pressure, when City took a nosedive in form. Sir Alex would have told Carlos to stay home.
One of the other quotes, not in the story, that stuck out at me was this, on United's heart.
Any other season we would have enough points to win the league," said Richards. "But they always find a way. When you play United you always know it's drilled into them: 'We have to win.' Even when I was playing against them in the under-14s they would always go right to the last minute. They just never wanted to lose. Just look at their game at Chelsea when they went 3-0 down. I was watching that and, seriously, if we go down 3-0 down, we're not coming back. I think only Man United could have done that. It shows what they're about. Once we get a little bit of that…"
Richards may have summed it up best, with this quote...
"They have been doing this for years and it's Sir Alex's way or no way. If you don't like it, they'll get someone else. It's different here. It's all new to us. If we are going to be a strong team, we're all going to have to accept we can't play every week."
Manchini will never have this respect, because the players have no respect for themselves.

The Cincinnati Reds scored again and again while starter Bronson Arroyo allowed only two men on base as the Reds beat the San Francisco Giants for the second night in a row in the National League Division Series. The Reds won 9-0.
Arroyo allowed one hit in the 5th and one two-out walk in the 7th; those were the only chances the Giants had in his 7 innings.
Multiple Reds shared offensive honors: Brandon Phillips went 2 for 5 with one RBI. Joey Votto scored twice while getting 3 hits in 4 at-bats. Jason Ludwick went 2 for 3 and drew a walk while scoring twice, once on a leadoff solo home run in the second, which was the Reds first run, and as it turns out was also the winning run.
Jay Bruce got 2 RBI's on a single and went on to score himself. Ryan Hanigan went 2 for 4 with, driving in 3 of the Reds runs and scoring one run himself. Drew Stubbs joined in late in the game with an RBI triple, and then scored a run of his own. The Reds' 9 runs came on 13 hits.
The Giants managed a rally of sorts in the bottom of the 9th, putting men on 1st and 3rd with two outs off reliever Jose Arredondo, before the game ended on a ground out.
The Reds are returning home for the third game against the Giants on Tuesday. The first pitch will be at 5:37 p.m.

Running a schedule with kids this time of year is hard! Your family is pulled in multiple directions between sports, "end of school year" events, and your regular scheduled events.
This demand often forces you to choose fast food over the "real" food you want to serve your family. Please don't surrender! With some planning you can feed your family quality fuel and still stick to your schedule.
First, these foods must satisfy the following in order to fit into your routine:
• Convenient. Available ingredients, easy to prep and portable.
• Easy to eat with no need for utensils.
• Fairly clean (Because who wants a huge mess in the back of the minivan or at the dinner table after a later-than-normal or hurried dinner?)
• Delicious. Kids will eat it.
• Little to no refrigeration (maybe just transport in a cooler) and no reheating required.
• Adjustable for specific dietary needs.
Second, packing meals to eat on the run or at the ballpark is much easier with a few simple containers. Individual lunch boxes make it super easy and clean to eat in the car. We recommend Sistema lunch cubes, The Container Store's Slimline Quaddie, or Ziploc three-section reusable containers. Kids will love eating out of their own new, personal, "fancy" box and are much less likely to protest the sudden decrease in Happy Meals.
See Wednesday's Times Sentinel for the full story.

L-cysteine is a conditionally essential amino acid, one of only three sulfur-containing amino acids, the others being taurine (which can be produced from L-cysteine) and L-methionine (from which L-cysteine can be produced in the body by a multi-step process). Cysteine plays a role in the sulfation cycle, acting as a sulfur donor in phase II detoxification and as a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.1-3 Cysteine also helps synthesize glutathione, the bodys most important intracellular antioxidant and a vital detoxifier.4-7 Glutathione (L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a peptide molecule synthesized in the body from the three amino acids L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine and glycine. Glutathione is one of the bodys most important and powerful antioxidants,8 helping to detoxify xenobiotics.9-12 A major function of vitamin C is to keep glutathione in its reduced form so that it can continue to provide free radical-quenching effects.13-16 Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress.17-24 Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation.25,26 Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.20-22
Suggested Use As a dietary supplement Take one capsule one to three times daily on an empty stomach, - Or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Other Ingredients: vegetable cellulose (capsule), microcrystalline cellulose, ascorbyl palmitate, silica, medium chain triglycerides.

It is a great looking ring, however the size shown on the pictures may be slightly misleading. It is much smaller in person but still a very beautiful ring.
NOAH, WHEELING, WV – July 2014
The ring is a perfect match for the princess-cut engagement ring I gave her previously. The stones are bright and line up perfectly with the ones in the engagement.Somehow the whole seems brighter and more vibrant than either ring individually, and her finger looks like it's on fire anytime we're near a light. This ring is lovely on its own, but if you previously purchased the matching engagement setting this band is a MUST.

Over 100 students were recognized during the 6th Congressional District Eighth-Grade Scholars Program June 6 at the Batesville High School auditorium.
The event, sponsored by Hillenbrand Inc., "celebrated academic excellence and the students who achieved it," said Chris Lowery, HI public policy and engagement director. The top male and female eighth-grade students from each school in the district were honored. There was not any specific criteria to determine who would be recognized. That was left to the principals' discretion.
The director told the group, "Your challenge is to continue to be disciplined in your habits of study and be interested in things others say are just not possible .... When the choice is getting an A in a regular course or a B in an honors course, make the tough choice."
The honorees were very excited. Maddy Ketcham, St. Nicholas School, Sunman, expressed how the students were feeling: "Special and grateful about getting noticed by my school."
Lindsay Bischoff, Sunman-Dearborn Middle School, St. Leon, agreed, "I work hard for my grades, and it's nice to get some recognition."
Joseph Barr, Batesville Middle School, pointed out, "This honor proves you have the ability to stand out among your peers."
Nathan Batta, St. Louis School, was happy with the award. "It can help me get jobs and get into a good college."
Katelyn Ertel, St. Nicholas School, admitted, "I feel very special and definitely feel smart now. I'll try to keep excelling in what I do at East Central High School next year."
Matthew Kuebel announced he was anxious to meet U.S. Congressman Luke Messer, who was the guest speaker.
The representative emphasized, "The No. 1 thing you can do to do well in life is to do well in school .... There is no dream you can dream that is too big."
